It can take awhile for your hormones to get normal again .

I started losing my hair about 3 months or so after my baby was born. It was really bad, worse with my second than with my first. But it only lasted a couple of months.

Everyone is different. My daughter is 11 months and I think finally I'm not shedding hair as much anymore.

My hair started falling out around the 4 month mark, so depressing! It settled around the 1 year mark, but I talked with my stylist and started using Nioxin shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment and it really seemed to help with new hair growth.

I know as long as I'm taking my prenatal it slows down loss for me ( I still take it while I breastfeed). I hated it, I have super thick hair and lose enough when I wash it and it is 10 times worse after I had my kids.

It could take up to a year, sometimes more. At least that was the case for me.
