Postpartum hair loss

[19annie86]

When did it stop, my baby just over 9 months old, even if I touch my hair some falls out, not lots at the no time but they are all over my floor, when I wash and brush my hair even more shedding

Any chance you could be anaemic? That can make it worse.

Iron tablets, multi vitamins, and high strength biotin - both I think resolved mine

It stopped eventually but was heartbreaking when the hair was coming out in clumps. It does grow back though!

Mine never stopped coming out and I am 9 years on. I am following this thread incase anyone has discovered a way for it to stop falling out.

The only solution is to get pregnant again. That has sorted mine out.

Multi vitamins and high strength biotin sorted mine out too! 😊 I couldn’t wear my hair up for months because big clumps had fell out around my face.

Il try the high strength biotin, did you just get it on Holland and Barrett. I used to always wear my hair in a high pony tail, but hair to fine round hair line, have to do a middle parting now

I'm 2 years on and mine still keeps falling out in waves. Would be fine and then all of a sudden it would start again. Recently had blood tests and found to be anaemic (was tested for multiple things because I started developing lots of different symptoms, not just hairloss). Perhaps talk to your GP if concerned and ask for a blood panel to be done? They can then recommend what supplements to take to help if you're showing to be deficient in any areas.

Mine hasn’t stopped, it started at 4 months, she’s now 7 moths and my hairline is gone, I was left with little baby hairs only, I have thick curly hair so people can’t see the difference apart from the hairline, it’s is so sad and frustrating because my hair was the only part of my body that i liked postpartum and now it just look dead and dry
