When does hair loss stop after having a baby?

I know this is one of the hormonal changes we have to deal with, but DD is 4 months now and I keep finding clumps of hair on everything .

Anyone else have it this bad?

My daughter is 7 months and it JUST slowed down. It was pretty bad! Luckily, I had a lot of hair to begin with.

Give it a few more months!

Mine is out of control as well- the fact that it could go to 7-9 months scares me!!!

Mine started when DS was 3 months and continued until a few weeks ago when he turned 5 mos. It was horrible!

My hairdresser recommended that I SCRUB my head when I wash my hair. To give myself a really vigorous scalp massage. That will at least get out whatever is loose.DH is likeChat Icon when I forget to wipe the huge clumps of hair off the shower wall though.

She also said to STOP wearing it back- that the constant piuling weakens the root and will increase loss.

I will say I've noticed a difference in the amount I was losing throughout the day.

I wondered about this myself. My hair has been so long that no amount of hairspray will hold it these days so it has been ponytail everyday for me. I went today for a chop so I'm hoping that helps a little bit


I can't see me asking DH to knock me up again so my hair stops falling out Chat Icon

My youngest is 9mos and I just noticed the past few days it has gotten a little better but I still have to clean the drain after the shower.
