How to stop hair loss after childbirth?

It's been a few months since I delivered my baby, and my hair is still falling out excessively. My comb and pillow are full of hair. Is this normal, and how can I stop this hair loss after childbirth?

After my delivery, my diet was key. I focused on eating daily palak, beetroot juice, and handful of soaked seeds to ensure my body got enough plant-based iron and zinc.

Postpartum shedding can be quite severe, especially if you have existing hormonal issues like PCOS. Focus on gentle recovery and don't rush into taking random supplements without a doctor's advice.

My doctor told me that postpartum hair loss is just the sudden drop in pregnancy hormones and is completely natural. It usually self-corrects within six to nine months, so keep taking your basic vitamins.

During our times, we were given warm milk with almonds and home-made methi laddoos after delivery. Keep your head cool, do not use hot water for bath, and let the hair recover slowly.
