I'm 18 months post partum, but I'm still losing hair like crazy. It's not thinning out, and I have thick wavy/curly hair, and when I wash it every few days, I end up with a big fistful of hair each time.
Any vitamins that might help? I had a midwife tell me when k was in the newborn haze and cannot remember.

Ditto on the Prenatals and Biotin. I also ate/drank a lot of stuff with collagen and gelatin like bone broth and braised meats. Vitamin E helps to strengthen.

@SleepyMonkey: @Mrs. Coral: Thank you! Going to pick up some Biotin this week to see if it helps.
@gingerbebe: I have never heard of the bone broth, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Did you make yours, and if so, willing to share a recipe?

Apparently hair loss can be a symptom of low Vitamin D so I have been taking that and have noticed a difference in how much hair I am losing.

@Tanjowen: Did your hair ever get better? I'm digging up all the old threads about continual hair loss, haha!

@snowjewelz: It did, about 12 months post partum! I cut off quite a bit and took vitamin D and B daily.
I had a miscarriage 3 months ago and it changed again (thinned out and very oily), and I'm on prenatal vitamins and it seems to be helping thicken my hair back up.

I can't comment on vitamins, but have you gotten your thyroid checked? I was just in for an appt the other day (for other symptoms) and my doc mentioned that hair loss is a really common symptom.

@catlady: Huh.. Does pregnancy/birth affect your thyroid? I haven't been to any doctor for anything since my required pp visits
