Post-Pregnancy Hair Loss 
    

  • Many      women experience a sudden onset of rapid hair loss two to four months      after giving birth.
    • 

  • There      is nothing a new mom can do to prevent post-pregnancy hair loss.
    • 

  • Increased      post-pregnancy hair loss can last anywhere from three weeks to a year.
    • 

  • Eating      a healthy diet that is rich in B vitamins and protein will help make your      hair look and feel healthier until hair loss returns to normal.
