A member asked:
Does a fistful hairfall normal for breastfeeding mother? what are the other symptoms that might occur within nursing period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. : hair loss for 2-3 months after giving birth is normal for both mother and baby. The hair will grow back. You may also experience uterine cramps as a result of breastfeeding. These are responses to hormones that are elevated at this time.
