Hair Loss While Breastfeeding

hair loss while breastfeeding
too much weight loss?

Ok well while I was pregnant I gained 42lbs. My son is now 4 months, I am breastfeeding and I have lost 55lbs. I’m not saying this too be like “look at me I’m sooo skinny.” I am serious!! I am losing hair, but I feel like I have enough energy to pass it out freely to other mothers and the weight loss is out of control. What’s wrong??

This is perfectly normal:

1. The hairloss isn’t due to breastfeeding. It’s due to the drop in hormones that happens after birth. You don’t lose any hair while pregnant and now you’re going to lose a lot of it. dont’ worry. It’s normal!

2. Eat, eat, eat. It’s important to increase your caloric intake while you are breastfeeding. I can’t remember how much it is for one baby (I have twins so I’m supposed to get some crazy high number like 3500). I always have healthy snacks like cheese cubes, yogurt, raisins, cheese crackers, peanut butter, apples, and other fresh fruit set up near where I nurse. I pretty much eat four meals a day plus snacks in between.

3. I’m currently 14 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight. My doctor said this is normal. Just be careful about your food choices because once you wean you might be too used to eating unhealthy, high-fat stuff and will struggle with weight after you stop breastfeeding.

Good luck!
