Hi Jay! You can share with your client the information on hair loss in The
Nursing Mother's Companion. This comes from a dermatologist. It is not
uncommon for this to occur with one pp episode and not another. Some of the
most severe cases I have ever seen have been with bottlefeeding mothers!

From p. 100 (third edition): "Starting at approximately six to twelve weeks
after birth, some women experience generalized hair loss
(telogeneffluvium). Because of the hormonal changes following birth, hair
follicles simultaneously move from the growing phase (which they were
during pregnancy) to the resting phase of their development. Poat partum
hair loss is seldom severe, and women never go bald because of it. The
period of hair loss lasts about three to six months. It has no relationship
to breastfeeding."
