It doesn’t start until like month 4 so not surprised it’s worse at 6. It’ll pass, eat well and get as much sleep as you can to manage hormones.

Kept taking my prenatals but honestly it eventually just does stop and then you have hilarious whispies all around your hairline

Naturemade postnatals are very affordable and effective, it stopped my shedding.

Keep nursing for a year or so (if possible), if you can’t it will stop shedding and grow back after hormones settle.

Prenatals and a scoop of full spectrum collagen powder every day

Expectation management. Mine didn’t stop until 14 months PP and it was only because I got pregnant again. It would have definitely kept going for longer had I not.

I felt hopeless. Nothing I could do to keep the 5 strands I had left. Now at almost 1 months I have sooooo much new hair growth. Hang in there!

I kept taking my prenatals and it helped substantially, also you may want to up your protein intake. Low protein can also accelerate hair loss (as I learned when I was going through it).

I hurt. I feel like I can never do enough to get ahead. Can't seem to land a new job to make enough money to survive. And as a man whenever I talk to someone about how I'm feeling all I get is, "Welcome to being a husband and father!" Every 1 step forward I try and take i get pushed 2 steps back. Feeling incapable.

Recently got my child's passport renewed. Child is minor so effectively a new passport. Here is the timeline, with just regular service.

6/2 Applied in person at the local county office
6/6 The application reached the State Dept
7/9 Got email that status changed to Approved
7/12 Received the new passport

End to end, a little more than 5 weeks. "Routine service can take 8-11 weeks" is the standard disclaimer. It's all good people!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
