How to stop hair loss after birth?

My baby is 4 months old now, and I'm losing so much hair, it's making me nervous. Every time I comb, there's a big bunch. How can I stop this hair loss after birth?

I know how terrifying it is to see chunks of hair come out when you are already exhausted with a newborn. It made me so anxious, but it really is just temporary hormonal adjustment.

I tried every homemade methi and curry leaf pack after my delivery, but postpartum shedding has its own timeline. Just keep your scalp clean and eat your post-pregnancy nuts daily.

I thought my postpartum hair loss was normal, but it turned out my iron levels had dropped dangerously low. Please get your ferritin checked instead of just waiting it out.

My wife faced this after our daughter was born. Don't waste time on random internet hacks, just consult her gynecologist for the right postpartum multivitamins.

My wife's doctor explained that estrogen drops drastically after childbirth, pushing hair into the shedding phase. It usually peaks around 3-4 months and gets better on its own within a year.
