Hair loss 4 months post-partum?

Question

Hello, I’m 4 months post-partum and losing a lot of hair. I know this is normal, but my hair has thinned more than with my previous pregnancies. Would it be helpful in my situation to take supplements or other types of products to promote hair growth? I should probably add that I am not breastfeeding.

Hello and thank you for your question! As you've mentioned, this is a normal process. There is no recommended supplement unless there is actually a vitamin or nutrient that you lack, which is only discernible through blood tests. For the moment I can suggest eating lots of fruits and veggies. Hoping I've been helpful, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions.
