Hair loss : What you are describing is incredibly common. You see, your hair normally grows out of sync. However, after a major stressor like having a baby, your hair can begin to grow in sync. When that happens, it looks like you are losing your hair. This condition can take 6-9 months for the hair to reset itself and start growing out of sync again.

Alopecia?: There is a condition called alopecia which causes the hair to fall out. This is different from male pattern baldness which is genetic and not a disorder. A dermatologist can tell you if you have Propecia (finasteride) (an autoimmune disorder) and treat it. Peace and good health.
