is any of u ladies hair falling out?

edited January 2012 in Postpartum Health
So my lo is 3.5 months old now. I was ebf up to 2.5 months then when I returned to work my supply went to nothing, anyways, since stopping bf all together (been 2 wks now) my hair has started shedding like crazy! When I wash it the drain is full, when I brush it the comb is full. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

  • My Baby is 4 months and im EP & just for more than a week now im shedding like crazy too. My hair was so thick :'( now i see my hair in my Shower, its on the brushes lol this is funny in my hubbys underwear.
  • Yes in clumps since she was 3 months, she's 5 months now but I'm still ebf, its from a dip in your hormones at 3 mos postpartum
  • Yes, my baby is 4 mos too and I have lost a ton! My hair lady said that it is totally normal after being pregnant!
  • My LO is 3 months and I'm going bald! :(
  • Yes!!!! Same here. ny lo is 4 months must be the hormonal change L-)
  • Ok thanks ladies I know I'm normal lol. My hair grew like crazy when I was pregnant & it was so thick, shiny & healthy looking, I wanted it to stay. I got my tubes tied also so my harmones are probably extra screwed up lol. I just didn't remember that from my 1st pregnancy, but it was 10 yrs ago!
  • Oh thanks God I am not the only one.
  • My lo is almost 6 months and I haven't lost any! I'm afraid that its all gonna come out at once lol
  • Omg yes! I feel like I'll be bald soon if this continues.
  • I'm the completely opposite, i'm pregnant and its coming out in clumps:(
    I've always had long, thick straight hair and now its ugly thin and wavy sometimes:( it better go back to normal once baby is here or I'll be at the hair salon every week! Lol
  • Omg yes. I have thick hair. My brush is so full of hair I have to clean it after every stroke. :(
  • my hair is evrywhere!!1 after i shower or brush/fix my hair its like i killed a small animal in my bathroom!!
  • My lo is 4months & I'm shedding like crazy. I have a hair catcher in my shower and I've been combing while my conditioner is in to release all the hair so it doesn't fall every where all day. P.s. I'm a hairdresser and this is normal. I've also dealt with alot of clients that their hair texture completly changed after having kids!
  • Me!! :( 4.5months PP & I just started about 2Weeks ago, I was LOVING my hair too ;(
  • Yes. My hubby constantly complains about it
  • @excitedforoctober he swears I'm doing voodoo on his ass lol
  • I'm 4 months pp and its coming out in clumps!! I knew it would bc I'm a hair dresser and see it with my clients but it still freaks me out!
  • I have way to much hair already so I dont notice it but I sure see it in my hair brush!
  • I'm 5month pp n its craazzyyyy!! I have alotta hair luckily but its nastyyy.. n tangles soooo easily..
