I think it's common for women who breast feed to lose hair (grows back once done breastfeeding)....don't think you have anything to worry about Wobbs.

I though everyone gets it, when pregnancy hormones are out of the body, as you don't loose any during pregnancy due to the hormons

I have really thick hair and looks like, that's why I also loose much @ the moment! uahhh!

I heard that it is possible to get it (for every woman) during pregnancy but after birth it's common in breastfeeding women. Could be wrong though.

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...

that's what I heard!

I am not worried about it, I just find it awful as there are hair everywhere and everytime washing or brushing them results in a handful hair coming out

Mines still falling out & I didn't BF.

Apparently there's a shampoo from lush you can get which is ment to reduce hair loss. Its like a bar of soap but its a shampoo, you dnt use conditioner or anyhthing either. My MIL used it and her hair went lovely, really shiny & healthy looking.

I'm going to pop out and get some while I'm pram free cos the shop is so not pram friendly!
