I am ! Mine started around 4 months postpartum chunks of my hair started falling out that my hair got super thin. I am now 8 month postpartum and I can see my hair loss is slowdown. I would get so annoying that my hair was everywhere so what helped me was keeping it in a braid at nights and stop using hear on it.

Yeah but I’m not anymore since I’m pregnant again

My hairdresser said there’s nothing you can do to stop the shedding. Your hair basically didn’t shed for 10 months of pregnancy, so it’s catching up all at once. Only thing you can do is jump start the new growth - biotin and collagen pills (not gummies!). It’s rough, but the hair shedding does stop eventually ❤️

I have heard rosemary but haven’t tried it myself

Mine has been falling since from about week 4 PP and itchy scalp too. Pretty sure it’s normal and to be expected. I’ve just been paranoid about scooping it all up because I’m worried about a strand ending up wrapping around baby’s fingers or toes!

can one have biotin supplements while breastfeeding?

It's normal. These have completely helped mine though, and ok if breastfeeding. Has biotin and collagen :https://babyblues.care/products/postpartum-hair-loss-vitamins

Has anyone experienced hair loss after weaning or later than 4months? My baby is now 1.5yrs and I’ve notice a lot more hair loss recently.

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
