Hello,
It is quite normal to shed hair post partum as the effect of estrogen on hair wanes off.
Other factors that may be contributing to your hair loss is nutritional deficiency.
Therefore I suggest you take a balanced nutritious diet rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins along with a hair vitamin supplement e.g tablet Revilus which is oral biotin and is good for hair.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
