It maybe due to nutritional deficiency
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since you are breastfeeding, the cause of hairfall is most probably nutritional deficiency. I will suggest that continue taking your prenatal vitamin supplements (without DHA) atleast 1 tablet a day. Also keep your calorie intake high. Take extra servings of milk, cheese, butter, cookies, pastries etc.
Also all blood tests should be done within 6 months of baby birth to find any post-partum cause like thyroid issues.
The normal hair are expected to return within a year of baby birth. Nothing to worry.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
