Postnatal hairloss February 17, 2009

Just before Chinese New Year I noticed lots of hair strands at the drainer after showers. Then more and more hair strands appeared on the floor everywhere.
So last week I decided to visit my hairdresser and she confirmed my worst fear – I’m going bald!! The good news, said the neighbourhood pharmacist, is that my crowning glory will grow back to normal within 6 months after delivery. If it doesn’t I suppose it’s time to visit the doctor – obgyn/dermatologist/physician, whichever.
Anyway my hairdresser suggested I ditch the idea of growing my hair long (since there’s not much of it to show off now) and sport the pixie look. The haircut was a great idea coz she managed to style what’s left on my head and hide the balding area.
Sigh…! The agony mommies go through before and after having the little one.
Great blog and hope to have some time soon to come back and read more!
I had very bad dandruff for 18months after I’d given birth to Zaria. Boy.. I almost tore my hair out.
Btw, regarding your weaning question. You just have to keep trying different teat.
Some babies really refused to take anything else, although mine could switch from bottle to breast vice versa with no problem
Some people told me, they’ll drink right? After a while if they are hungry? I never tried that though.
Good luck.
Err..hair does drop out 4 months after delivery. Don’t worry..it’ll stabilise within a few weeks or so.
Sebastian’s one smart baby. I carry him close as if I’m about to breastfeed him. He eyes my nipple and I swear I could hear he smack his lips. But when I put the bottle teat on his lips he starts crying… it’s as if he knows he’s been duped!
While I wait for my hair to grow and stop shedding this much, I wish I live in a cold climate country… at least I can wear a cap/hat.
