Yes sweetie, it is normal. Its part of that hormonal rollercoaster. It will go back to normal eventually.

My baby is almost 6 months old and I am still having handful after handful of hair falling out of my head, on my pillow, all over my clothes, the floors are scattered with hair ~ I hate it (I even have 3 bald spots)! I asked my hairdresser and she said it was something to do with the hormones and recommended a product for me....I forget the name of it, but if you talk to your hairdresser, they should be able to tell you the name of the product, they may actually have it in stock. I also asked my Dr about it and he did a thyroid test which came back negative, to this he said "Well, not sure what is the cause, but if it doesn't go away in a few months, come back and see me" HELPFUL!! I also had this happen after my first 2 pregnancies, but it didn't last as long as it is this time....I recommend talking to a hair dresser....they know more than one would think :) Good Luck

Yes it can be normal it is usually from hormones, however 6 months seems to be too long. Hair falling out is a sign of a thyroid disorder also, and for some reason many women develop that problem after pregnancy. See your family doctor.

I have experienced hair loss as well after having my son. It had to have been at least 3 months. Even while I was losing hair, I grew new hair in new places. Go figure.

it is normal to lose hair, but be careful, if you have hair loss history in your female family is time to start a treatment, go to see you doctor about this right now.
