During the first few months of breastfeeding, as high levels of estrogen levels decrease after delivery, a lot of new mothers experience temporary loss or thinning hair.  This temporary condition is known as postpartum alopecia. Because so much hair falls out at once, the hair follicles are not prepared to replace the increased amount of shedding hair.  This results in a noticeable thinning or loss of your hair. you will notice an increase in hair loss right around 3-4 months after delivery.  The good news is that at around the 6-month postpartum stage, hair begins to grow back to pre-pregnancy fullness. Once the hair follicles catch up and can replace the lost hair, hair resumes natural and regular growth, and the situation corrects itself naturally. Within a year, your hair should be back to normal. Approximately 40% to 50% of new mothers experience a dramatic loss or thinning of hair within 3-4 months after delivery. 1. eating natural and healthy foods on schedule, add foods high in protein to promote hair growth.
Consume more breastfeeding “superfoods” such as whole grains, milk and non veg which can give your hair follicles an extra boost for faster hair growth.  2. Vitamins, Minerals, and Supplements The skin, scalp and hair will all thrive from a good dose of daily vitamins, promoting a healthy environment for hair re-growth from the inside out.  Hair-friendly vitamins include: * B-complex vitamins such as Biotin (B7) * Vitamin C * Vitamin E 3. Other good hair supplements include fish oil and zinc.  Remember that before starting any new vitamin regime, check with your doctor, especially while breastfeeding
