I'm still losing LOTS of hair and Neena is almost 15 months old. I'm not sure this is normal. If you breastfeed are you still losing hair? If not, when did you stop losing hair? Extended breastfeeders, are you still losing hair? I'm just trying to figure out if there is a correlation between breastfeeding and continued hair loss.

Re: Breastfeeders
I'm thinking it's time to see my midwife about this. :-( Mine is soooo bad. I know hair loss is normal after pregnancy, but I'm pretty sure what I'm experiencing is not normal. UGH!

This is what I was thinking. I have an overactive thyroid and that was one of the symptoms that I experienced as well. I also had achy joints and was/am always hot.
Sounds just like me. I complain about my hot flashes all of the time.
