How to stop hair loss after giving birth?

My baby is 3 months old, and I'm losing a lot of hair every day. It's very upsetting to see so much hair on my brush. How can I stop this hair loss after giving birth?

My wife faced this and once her doctor cleared her for light walks, it really helped with her blood circulation and stress levels. Physical health plays a big role in hair recovery.

I used to feel so down looking at my hair falling while trying to handle a newborn. It is a very emotional phase, but please know you are not alone and it does stop eventually.

Postpartum hair fall is very common, haan. Don't worry, just keep taking your iron and calcium tablets properly, sab normal ho jayega thode time mein.

My doctor explained that during pregnancy, high estrogen prevents hair shedding, so after birth, all that retained hair falls out together. It is a normal physiological process and usually resolves itself.

I was reading some forums for my sister, and apparently almost 90% of new mothers face this around the third month. It seems to be a natural phase that corrects itself.
