Hair loss in pregnancy is due to ur breastfeeding hormone mainly. Take high protein diet. U can take tablet hairbless once daily.
Once proper weaning happens it will subside.

Post-pregnancy hair fall is common, especially around 6â12 months after delivery. However, ongoing hair thinning may be due to nutritional deficiencies, stress, or hormonal changes.
Yes, a blood test can help identify deficiencies.
Recommended blood tests:
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
Serum Ferritin
Vitamin D3
Vitamin B12
TSH (Thyroid Function Test)
Serum Zinc (optional)
General suggestions for hair growth:
Eat a protein-rich diet (eggs, dal, sprouts, leafy greens)
Consider a supplement containing Biotin, Zinc, Iron, and Vitamin D
Use mild shampoos and avoid frequent heat styling
You can apply 5% minoxidil (after consulting a dermatologist) if the hair fall is severe

Post delivery hair loss is very common. It is temporary condition. Usually caused due to hormonal shifts. Don’t worry about it.
You can do Vitamin D and serum Calcium test to find out if there is any nutrient deficiency adding to this problem.
