My second baby is almost 6 months but I’ve been losing hair like this regularly for the past 2 months and I’m not sure if it’s worth going to the doctors? Anywhere I go I leave a trail of hair and I dread hair wash day in the fear of losing more 😭 I never lost this much hair for this long with my first baby but my whole pregnancy and everything was completely different with my second… Anyone else had anything similar and how did they prevent balding? 🥺

It’s very normal! Most people it starts around 3 months pp and lasts about 3 months too.
It’s the huge drop in hormones. You don’t shed hair whilst pregnant then afterwards you lost all that at once.
Both times I looked like a Cynthia doll 🤦♀️ biotin is great for regrowth but nothing will stop the hair loss until your hormones return to normal in a few more weeks xxx

How long is your hair? I have been losing handfuls like that most days since 10 weeks. Sadly I think it is normal.

Its normal. Ive been like that almost till my girls 1st birthday, then it calms down. And you will see alot of fly aways, thats growth.

I was like this with my second, it also worried me but it stopped eventually. It was definitely worse and more prolonged than with my first

Worst part for me was hair loss post partem. I think it’s completely normal. Unfortunately it a big shift in hormones and during pregnancy you hold on to more hair but after you have the baby you lose all that you got during pregnancy plus more. It’s awful. 😢 I took a ton of vitamins and biotin and collagen and protein. Just to help my hormones go back to normal. Eventually I think they all leveled out. Like a year. Pregnancy is wild. 😜 now it’s premenopausal hair loss. We can never win. 😫

Consider having a blood test done if it keeps happening it could be just postpartum, but I was low in vitamin D and Iron.

Every time I wash my hair that's a similar size bunch for me. My hair is just past my shoulders. I have very thin hair but quite a bit of it. I'm losing some volume from the top now. I would often lose quite a bit pre pregnancy too TBF. I was also low in iron and vit d.
Has anyone got one of these from a brand they recommend? Not sure if Coco seat is a UK brand or what it's like as a company?
Thanks in advance!

My baby is 15 weeks on Saturday. He used to sleep 9ish-6am with only 1 wake for a feed. He’s now ready for bed at 7/7:30 and sleeping until 7am but waking for 3 feeds! He had dropped to 6 5oz bottle but has now added in an extra one at 11pm. I’ve tried him with some 6oz bottles in the day but he struggled with them. What’s going on? Do I need to ride it out or try and up his daytime intake?

Hi all so my nearly 3 week old is wanting to sleep through the night she has had no issues with her weight and is gaining really well. Can I let her sleep through or do I keep waking her? TIA x

My 12 week old uses Aldi Mamia size 3 nappies during the day with no problems, but at night both Mamia and Pampers Premium Protection size 3 have leaked after a few hours. Has anyone got tips for nighttime leaks or recommendations for other brands or strategies?

I was just curious if anyone has switched formulas. My 12 week old baby has been on aptamil 1 since birth but due to crap mat pay and the prices of formula nowadays I was wondering if anyone can advise if they switched and (or) if they've used aptamil and changed; which brand did they switch to. Thanks mummas
