Postpartum hair loss

Monica • My husband and I are 36 and 35, high school sweethearts, married in 2005, son Gavin born 11-27-15. PSU grad, work for small newspaper as a reporter.
Any tried and true remedies or treatments to combat postpartum hair loss? I still take prenatals, and my doctor's office recommends the hair, skin and nail vitamins as well.
I've purchased new hair products that are alcohol free and meant to help with breakage, but my hair has become so dull and lifeless. I've also tried coconut oil, and I rarely use a blow dryer or curling or flat irons. I've been trying to eat better, and I wash my hair two or three times a week; there is a lot of hair in the drain when I wash it. I've also had my thyroid checked, and it's normal.
I know the hair loss is normal, but I'm about ready to cut it really short so it will be easier to deal with. Thanks!
