Question by Momma Mia!: Do you think there is a correlation between postpartum hair loss and weight loss?
I had a baby 4.5 months ago and am exclusively breastfeeding. Just recently my hair began to fall out big time and my weight has also been coming off more easily. I realize that the hair loss is normal, but I’m wondering if there is a correlation between the two. Perhaps the hair loss signals that the pregnancy hormones are out of our system which in turn lets our bodies know that we don’t need the weight anymore. What do you think?

Yay! I’m so glad I can help you with this question! I have a 6 month old and I was constantly losing my hair in the shower. I was losing my mind over it so I called my ob… he told me that when you are pregnant, your body grows more hair and hair follicles to prepare for the baby. (one of many changes your body goes through, as you know) lol… so the hair that you are losing really isn’t your “hair” as it is what grew in during those nine months. Remember that you were pumping TONS of iron and vitamins into your body, which promotes growth, not only of the baby, but of hair and other things in your own body. Also, keep in mind that if you are losing the weight, but still taking in a correct amount of nutrients and calories, you should be fine, talk to your ob about it, I hope that he or she can help you… but I wanted to tell you that I found this wonderful website that helped me through my post pregnancy “issues” and it helped me to gain my confidence back through weight loss and nutrition after I had my baby. I recommend it to everyone. It helped me get into shape and the woman who designed it is so helpful and kind… she helped me with a lot of questions that I was having and with a lot of “issues” that I was having because I could not lose my baby weight. It is absolutely phenomenal and it helps to know that there is a woman out there who can help with a REAL story and not just listening to these “fads” of weight loss. I hope this helps you, as we all want to look great and feel great after eating everything and being so big for 9 months! The website is: www.postpregnancyhealth.com

Question by Tuty: What is the best way to handle female hair loss post-partum?
My husband hates wigs…I can’t afford expensive weaves.
What can I do to best deal with hair loss along my front hairline? (I was already told this is normal post-partum hair loss and that it will grow back over time.) Currently, I am wearing twists and have been wearing headbands to cover up the short hair spots.

I’ve never had children, so haven’t experienced the problem. However, I do know of something that you may get some ideas from:
