Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having postpartum hair fall, my treatment advice is -
1. Use a good herbal hair oil and shampoo for routine use.
2. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
3. Take an iron supplement and vitamin B12 supplement.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
