It is totally normal and you should notice less loss within a couple more months but if you feel it isn’t slowing it could be a few things.

taking care of a newborn is stressful and exhausting puts strain on you, especially if you are breastfeeding. So minimize stress ( tough with a baby I know) eat a healthy diet lots of protein to help hair growth.

You aren’t alone and if within the next few months you feel it hasn’t subsided ask your OBGYN 🙂  but there isn’t a shampoo that prevents hair loss 🤷‍♀️

If it's hormonal hair loss (and, most female hair loss is...), Pura D'Or Hair Thinning Shampoo will help as would the supplement Saw Palmetto.

Anyone breastfeeding should NEVER take supplements (including vitamins) without consulting with their ob or lactation consultant.  What might be fine for an adult can become quickly toxic in an infant.

I am 5 months postpartum and my hair is falling out in chunks. From what I’ve heard it’s super normal and should stop for you soon. I feel like if it goes on any longer for me I won’t have any hair left. Between it falling out and my baby pulling it out. Hope it gets better for you.

You should speak to your OB or lactation consultant--this can be caused by hormones or certain vitamin or mineral deficiencies that an over the counter topical product can't fix.  Some of those deficiencies can become serious, particularly if you are breast feeding, so take care of yourself mama!
