Had son almost 8 months ago and hair still falling out. Suggestions?

I am just wondering what I should do to stop losing hair. It is starting to drive me crazy!! Is there something I can take? A certain vitamin or herb? Anything I can put on my hair?

I had twins and my hair fell out for almost a year. My doctor said its hormones and recommended I take prenatal vitamins and a vitamin replacement. That helped me.

I have a 6 month old and nursing, I have the same annoying problem. I think is due to nurising and hormones.

It will take about a year for it to stop...I know it sucks but it is just the extra hair you grew when you were pregnant. If it really bothers you ask the doctor at the baby's next appointment.

My daughter is 16 months and my hair is still falling out, as long as you arent getting bald spots and the hair is slowly growing back in as it is falling out then you should be ok. i bought pills called nutricap, but i didnt notice a difference.

Oh gosh I'm going through the same thing right now! Normally your hair folicles go through a cycle of being active (growing) and being dormant (sheding) and you'll lose approx. 100 hairs per day. While we're pregnant however, our hair stays in its active state and doesn't fall out due to hormones. Sometime between 3 and 6 mos. after giving birth you start shedding all the hair that you should've (but didn't) while you were pregnant. I suppose it's part of the deal and it should stop sometime between 12 and 18 mos. after giving birth.



I find that if I comb my hair thouroughly after showering that it pulls out a lot of the loose hair and I don't shed all over the house or my clothes as much. Hopefully it'll stop for both of us soon! :)
