Nails weak and not growing 2 years postpartum

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Two years after giving birth, and my fingernails are as good as not growing (1mm a month or so that peels off straight away). This has been happening since I stopped breastfeeding a year ago.
Blood tests show everything is fine- iron, thyroid, vit D, B12 etc. GPs aren’t interested because nails aren’t exactly a vital organ, but to me the state of my nails is showing something isn’t right. I used to have to trim my nails because they were growing so long, now it’s so disappointing and, well, worrying.
I’ve taken various vitamins and minerals since pregnancy, diet is fine, stress is just normal day-to-day. Any ideas how to fix the problem?
