Hair falling out

My baby (toddler?) is 1 now and my hair has just ramped up falling out - again! What multivitamins did people take? I’m still breastfeeding for bedtime and nap. I’m honestly mortified when I get clumps of hair in my hands, is there anything I can do to change this?

Go to the doctors OP. Start with having bloods taken -Full Blood Count and Iron stores -ferritin level. Any symptoms of hypothyroidism apart from hair loss?

Post partum hair loss is natural due to the massive change of hormones. Not much you can do apart from time to be honest. It will grow back

Hmm interesting points! Thank you. Not necessarily re: hypoT but you’re right perhaps a FBC is needed just to be sure

Yeah I thought this, however it seemed to die down around 6 months. Is it normal to sort of, start back up again when they turn 1? I don’t remember this happening with my eldest 😩
