Hair loss - is there anything I can do?

[loladisco]

Hi all, wondering if anyone has found a supplement to help combat PP hair loss that is suitable to take whilst BFing? My hair is falling out at an alarming rate!

I have no supplements or even advice but my hair fell out so so fast I was terrified I'd be bald. I did thin near the front then it suddenly stopped as suddenly as it started.

How many months PP are you?

To a degree it’s normal- the hair doesn’t fall out as much during pregnancy so there’s s lot of hair fall to catch up on.

If it’s extreme or going on past six months, it’s worth getting bloods done. Low iron is a big culprit - but thyroid issues and other deficiencies can cause it too.

Thanks both, I'm 11 weeks pp currently. I had quite fine hair to start with so feels like I don't really have much there to lose. The glamour of childbirth eh!
