i have noticed recently that i seem to be losing hair, little by little-when i shampoo, brush and even straighten my hair! it's getting worse each day. i finally decided to google it, just to see what could be up and i found this. "The most common period of hair loss occurs approximately three monthsafter delivery. The rise in hormones during pregnancy keeps you from losing your hair. After delivery, the hormones return to normal levels, which allows the hair to fall out and return to the normal cycle. The normal hair loss that was delayed during pregnancy may fall out all at once. Up to 60% of your hair that is in the growth state may enter into the telogen resting state. The hair loss usually peaks 3-4 months after delivery as your hair follicles rejuvenate themselves. As noted before, this hair loss is temporary and hair loss returns to normal within six to twelve months." so, it's no fun, and a little saddening since i recently decided that i really am growing my hair long again...but, it's normal, it seems.....

Thanks for posting this - I was starting to get a little worried for myself too. :) Hope all is well
Just wait...when you think it is slowing down it gets worse. Then once it stops falling out, you begin to grow new baby hair (at least that is what I call it). I have tons of new hair growth right along my hair line...in the front, and at the nape of my neck (nape is that right???). Either way, the new growth is flourishing. Remember God designed all of this, so it is perfect, although we see it differently. Hope Noah is doing well!
Mine's been the same way!! Good to know I'm not alone.
One of those joys of your body trying to return to normal after having a baby.
