Hallow Dear,
Hair fall during lactation is mostly due to low proteins in the body. The milk formation is draining good amount of all the nutrients from the mother's body.
Just check whether you have dandruff which can lead to loosing hair. If so, please get it treated.
Follihair is a product of micronutrients which will increase the vigour and immunity. The producers claim it to be useful to arrest fall of hair. You may take it. In addition have high protein diet. Bean sprouts are good source of diet protein.
Shatavari (Arrowroot) powder is a very good medicine to control Lactational hair-fall. In addition it increases the quality and quantity of the milk and prevents the sagging of the breasts also. Take it in milk.
I hope this will help you.
