When Simon was about 5 months old, I began losing lots of hair. I even considered getting it cut really short because it was depressing me. It's now 2 months later and all has stablized. Just like prior to pregnancy. It goes from no loss for 9 months to more loss than ever due to the hormones so I think it appears worse than it really is! Trust me, I'm not bald!Also, I didn'"t breastfeed and it happened anyway...
One to five months after your baby is born, you may lose more hair from your scalp than usual. This loss of hair happens because during pregnancy more hairs go into the resting phase that is part of the normal growth and loss cycle of scalp hair. Six to twelve months after delivery your hair will become thicker again. This condition does not cause permanent hair loss or obvious bald patches.
