Postpartum hair loss: what supplements can I take while breastfeeding?

Postpartum hair loss is a common occurrence after giving birth and is usually temporary. It typically starts around the first month after childbirth and can last up to the fifth month. Hair usually starts to regrow around the sixth month. Taking supplements while breastfeeding may not necessarily help with hair loss. It is recommended to take care of your hair by avoiding tight hairstyles, hair treatments, and stress. If hair loss continues after the fifth month, it is advised to see a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
