Hair has 3 stages: growth, resting and shedding.  In pregnancy, hair is
not shed, and synchronizes in the resting phase.  When the hormones of
pregnancy receed, all those hairs that would have been shed over the
past 9-12 months are suddenly shed, making mom feel like she is suddenly
losing hair.  She's just losing hair that she would have lost had she
not been pregnant.
Breastfeeding has nothing to do with hair loss.
