Hair loss: after pregnancy is usually caused by hormonal fluctuations not related to breast feeding. Because of the tremendous benefits of breast feeding, please consult your doctor before you decide to stop. Best wishes!

Telogen hair loss: Hair loss 3 mos after child birth often means new hairs growing and pushing out old, inert hairs. Probably it is self-limited and will be OK in a few weeks. Forget the omega-3 which is a waste of money.
