Hair falls out during breastfeeding - what to do?

Why do hair fall out after giving birth?

The most basic reason for the loss of hair during breastfeeding is the lack of vitamins.

• changes in the hormonal background;
• nervous experiences, stress;
• chronic lack of sleep;
• absence or lack of time for personal care, refusal to use special make-up cosmetics;
• anesthesia, transferred during delivery.
