Hey mama’s! Hope everyone is doing well? So just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this but I am experiencing significant hair loss now at 10 weeks postpartum. Does anyone else have this or have experienced this too and have any remedies for it? I’m just really afraid of my baby girl pulling or getting a hold of my hair and it cutting her fingers/hands.

I've been through this! No remedies tho unfortunately! It's finally stopped. I think it stopped around 6 months pp from memory it's sucked! My bubs never got it suck or cut her hands /fingers with it, but every baby is different 🫠
My bubs is 10 months now

I have dealt with hair loss before in my life! First time due to stress and how at 4months pp.
I like to take hair skin and nails
OR prenatals are still okay!
If you use organic castor oil on your roots ten minutes before every shower it’ll help with fall out. I also use mueller rosemary hip oil on my roots and ends sparingly for nightly or daily use. Silk pillows are your bestfriends and scrunchies! And use a wide tooth comb NOT your fingers. Our finger prints are more grippy on hair than a comb. Most importantly do not pick at your scalp.
I also use a coconut oil for the scalp that helps with fall out.
You can’t stop it all but you can give it all the care it needs.

Same happened to me, I'm almost 6 months pp and it hasn't stopped completely yet but it is slowing down x

It's to do with the change in hormones and your body getting back to its Pre pregnancy self. I was so scared as I have fine hair but mines been mostly around my hair line so only I notice it. As others have said hair, skin and nail vitamins or the pre pregnancy ones are great to help nourish your body. If you're really worried check in with you Health visitor or GP 🥰 xxx

I've been worried about this as my hairs thin anyway & need every strand! 7 weejs post partum & hoping i swerve this 😝

Yes! Hair loss peaked 4 months postpartum. I’m 5 months postpartum and it hasn’t really slowed down. The hair loss is pretty bad for me. I haven’t tried anything yet for it but maybe try biotin pills.

Im 13 months pp and my hair falls like leaves. I feel like ive tried everything and nothing seems to work

Thanks for all the advice. I have some coconut oil in the house so I may give this a go and get some vitamins to help too. My hair is quite thick and it’s coming out in clumps 😩 London water also doesn’t help.
