9 months PP hair loss?

Question

I’m wondering if this has happened to anyone else. 
I’m 9 months Postpartum and still breastfeeding. I didn’t grow any extra hair while pregnant, and didn’t notice any hair loss afterwards, up until recently. All of a sudden it seems I’m shedding a lot more hair than normal. What could this be from?

Answer

Breastfeeding can mess with your hormones. I'd guess that breastfeeding kept your hormone levels elevated and just now are going back down, which would explain the delayed hair loss.

Answer

from what i understand pregnancy doesn’t actually make your hair grow more it just stops it from shedding as much/as fast. that’s why when your hormones and body level out after birth you get postpartum hair loss because all of that hair is finally shedding. i think for most women it typically happens between 4-6 months pp but maybe for you it just happened a little bit later?
