POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Postpartum hair fall is very common and usually starts around 3-6 months after delivery due to hormonal changes. Since you're also experiencing periods, your body is adjusting back to its normal cycle, which can contribute to hair loss.
Causes of Hair Fall After Baby & Periods Hormonal Changes – Estrogen drops after pregnancy, leading to more hair shedding. Nutrient Deficiency – Low iron, calcium, and protein can worsen hair fall. Stress & Lack of Sleep – Affects hair growth cycle. Postpartum Thyroid Issues – Sometimes, an underactive thyroid can cause hair thinning. What You Can Do to Reduce Hair Fall
✅ Diet & Supplements
Eat protein-rich foods (eggs, paneer, lentils). Include iron & folic acid (green leafy veggies, nuts, dates). Biotin & omega-3 (flaxseeds, fish, walnuts) for hair growth. Consider a postnatal multivitamin (consult a doctor).
✅ Hair Care Routine
Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo (like baby shampoo or herbal). Apply coconut or castor oil 1-2 times a week. Avoid heat styling & tight hairstyles. Use a wide-tooth comb to reduce breakage.
✅ Manage Stress & Sleep Well
Try yoga, meditation, or light exercise. Take short naps when possible.
✅ Consult a Doctor If:
Hair fall doesn’t improve after 6-12 months. You have bald patches or scalp irritation. You have irregular periods or extreme fatigue (thyroid test may be needed).
It gets better over time, but proper nutrition & hair care can speed up recovery!
