| Re: post partum balding
I've had 4 babies. It has happened each time and it is normal. My experience has been that it will thin out drastically from about 4 months post partum to 12 months post partum. Then, you'll begin a phase of regrowth, but, it is never quite as lush and thick as you had before. A lot of that is the added stress your new love brings to your life and a lot of it is also age. Age thins womens' hair, just as it does for men. Look at your mother and her mother, etc. The way their hair thins is a good indicator of what yours will be like.
My baby is 6 months old right now and I have to brush it before I shower and still a huge amount comes out in the shower when I wash my hair too, it's icky. When I have time to blow it dry, seems like there's more on the floor and in my brush than on my head. I've heard Rogaine for women helps, but I haven't tried it myself. I had super thick thick straight hair, so I'm lucky in that it does come back pretty thick. It's also really weird, my hair is now much wavier than before kids.
Oh well, so we don't have those Rapunzel tresses we all used to fuss over so much, we have a gorgeous little person instead.
