I feel for you mama! I always lost a lot of hair and thought women were being dramatic....nope it’s just insane. I’m at 7 months now and I would say I’m back at a normal level with an occasional large clump. Hang in there!

Gets better, and now that I’m closing in on a year postpartum it looks like I have awful bangs/a weird 80s bouffant mullet from all of the regrowth. TG for WFH 🙏

Same here and five months deep. Not sure how I am not bald. It’s everywhere! I think we just have to bare through it.

It gets better! But then you have to deal with so many flyaways as it grows back.

Thank you everyone for the hope 🙏🏻 I guess I gotta just gotta bear through it, as G1 said. 💀

Moms, what is your opinion on goat milk formula? I am hearing conflicting things. My baby’s pediatrician did not recommend it, because these formulas are new and not enough studies have been done on them (as opposed to Similac and Enfamil which have been around forever). But I’m also hearing from some people that it’s closer to breast milk and easier to digest for babies. Have any of you done any research on this and have a perspective to share? Many thanks!
