Hair Loss After Pregnancy Vitamins
postpartum weight/hair loss?

Hi

I had my daughter in October. This past month I’ve lost 5-7lbs and my hair is also shedding everyplace. I am only 124 down from 130. At the height of my pregnancy I was 160lbs pre-pregnancy weight 130lbs. I do not exercise but I am breastfeeding around the clock. Is it common to loose weight like this and also my hair is shedding. It is really starting to scare me but I know our bodies change after birth and I am wondering if this is one of the changes! I am not on vitamins but I do try to eat good.

For instance I had:
2 cookies, bowel of ice cream, taco salad, and dry cereal yesterday. All of which have good vitamins. Today so far I’ve had 1 cookie, a cheese sandwich and a sprite. I am also drinking tons of water!

When you are pregnant you do not lose much hair if any at all. I really noticed that during my pregnancy. That and really strong nails! Once I had my son it was coming out all the time. Especially when I showered. Eventually it subsided and it is back to what it was before pregnancy. I wouldn’t be too concerned.

As for the weight loss when you breastfeed you burn a lot more calories so it’s pretty normal to lose weight.

Not to be mean but the food you are describing is not all that nutritious. Cookies and Ice cream, a taco salad, these foods are not good for you. Try and eat three real meals a day and eat lots of green veggies and drink milk and all the really healthy foods. Just a suggestion.

Good Luck,

Kim

Hair Loss After Pregnancy What To Do

Nowadays, science and technology develop fast and our living standards re better. However, people are suffering more stress as society development. Hair loss used to be old men’s problem but now it’s also a big problem for young men as well as young women.

At first, you should know what causes hair loss. It’s well known that it’s because of excess estrogen. But few people know that estrogen produces DHT which is the real hair killer. There are many reasons for getting excess estrogen, such as well-known stress, lack of vitamin or minerals, diseases, etc.

We can stop hair loss from inner body and outer body.

First, try best to avoid taking supplements and food contains chemicals which would produce estrogen. Preservatives and additives are the most common chemicals in our daily life. Eat more organic foods instead of the above mentioned.

Liver is a key organ which neutralizes the pollution in the environment which would produce estrogen in your body too. So clean your liver and improve its neutralizing ability is also important for stopping hair loss.

Another factor causes production of estrogen is stress. So keep relax and do some workouts like yoga to reduce your stress is much recommended.

Besides those approaches for inner body, there are also some natural remedies for your scalps. Safflower oil, capsicum paste and onion are proved to be useful for stimulating blood circulation of follicles. Massage with aloe gel and rosemary oil is good method to stop hair loss too.

No matter stopping hair loss from inner or outer body, to reduce the DHT in your body is the key. Even you reduce estrogen in your body, but there still is DHT on your scalp. So removing the DHT on your scalp is the thing you should pay more attention to.

Be good to your hair, be good to yourself. I highly recommend stop your hair loss to you.
