I don't know if that's normal or not, but that's not how I experienced it. I'm losing hair like crazy right now (4 months p.p.), but it's just thinning back to normal, I'm not losing any more than I had before. You might consider having your iron level checked out.

I lost hair after both kids, after my second I practically had a bald spot before it started coming back. I believe my daughter was around 6 months or so before it started really getting better. At most I'd suggest getting your hair trimmed if it's needed which can help make it look a bit better before it starts to thicken again.

Ugh, so sorry. That is one part of having a baby that I DO NOT miss! In the front I totally had a receding hairline and I was basically "balding" in some spots. I had to bobby pin or clip my hair back to try and hide it - not cute. I was told by SEVERAL moms that it was totally normal. I was losing lots of hair until my daughter was about 5 months old, but it wasn't back to normal until a few months after her first birthday.

I started losing hair after my son was born, never had it happen with my others. It started when he was about 3 months and lasted until he was about 7 or 8 months. I was freaking out about it. I was also breaking out like a teenager. The doc said it had a lot to do with hormones and suggested a really good vitamin might help. I switched back to a prenatal and it did help with the hair loss after about a month or so but not completely, the breaking out did not stop until I stopped pumping at work and only nurse at night.

I had a lot of postpartum hair loss after our second child. If I recall correctly, it lasted about four months and I was back to normal at around a year. I have really thick hair that I normally have to thin out, so it was a blessing to me. Sorry to hear that's not the case for you, but know that it's something that will get better.
