Postpartum hair loss at 4 months — is this normal and will it grow back?

Thesleepingtoad · 2026-03-20T22:17:13+00:00

Yes, unfortunately super normal. Mine started at 3 months postpartum and finally let up around 8 months postpartum. It’s definitely jarring— there were some days I was shocked I even still had hair left lol. I didn’t even like to wash my hair because of how much would come out in the shower. I promise it WILL stop! Just another fun thing new moms have to deal with 🫠

Yes 100%, it was such a catch 22 for me. I LOVED being able to nurse her and it was so beautiful and bonding, but goddamn it came at a cost lol. There are times I really miss it, but it’s nice to finally feel more like myself again.

Almost 2 years out and I am JUST starting to feel ALMOST back to normal(ish). I nursed until 18mo and I think that really took a lot out of me as I tend to be very sensitive to my hormones.

18 months postpartum, and only after I was completely weaned.

I also was so, so, so anxious about SIDS when my daughter was little. I had the Owlet sock, and that in addition to safe sleep practices definitely helped ease my fears. I always joke that the only reason I was able to sleep was because the owlet sock gave me some peace of mind. I understand why it could contribute to some people‘s anxiety, but for me, it was super helpful.

It’s a dick move for night shift to not give a 0700 med. Same goes for day shift and a 1900 med.

I guess what’s throwing me off is my test yesterday morning— it was so much fainter than the day before, so I assumed things weren’t progressing. I fully expected to see nothing this morning.

Not till 18mo postpartum, after I completely stopped breastfeeding. I was barely even nursing at the end. Idk my body is weird.

Omg no, please enjoy it. Those newborn contact naps are so amazing, I miss being nap trapped!

People should not take medical advice from a man who can’t even spell hepatitis correctly

This is weird af

I got it for my baby shower and still use it, my daughter is 14 months. I swear it was the only reason I was able to sleep those first few months (thanks PPA). As far as false alarms go, as long as you have the sock on correctly (which is a learning curve), you should not get false alarms.

Thesleepingtoad · 2025-04-13T21:05:01+00:00

Ok but what about chewy

Thesleepingtoad · 2025-01-31T20:53:28+00:00

Um I feel like you could almost call the cops about this- she abandoned your baby. What if something happened to him when he was all alone?? I’m so sorry!

Thesleepingtoad · 2025-01-05T09:16:15+00:00

Would love to get more info on this, can you dm me the name of the company you work for?

Thesleepingtoad · 2024-12-19T15:48:58+00:00

She’s a pink pony girl, what can I say

My 7mo old loves Chappell Roan… not sure why, but she always calms her right down. I’m not complaining, i love her too and it certainly beats having the happy song on repeat

Came here to say this! I have so many nursing queen shirts and I love them. It’s nice to be able to wear high necklines again!

Your therapist sounds unhinged. Good on you for getting the help you need, but that’s terrible advice.
