Hi All,
Good friend Karen has a client, mom, 2nd baby 4 mo old.  Mom started working
2 mo ago, and has been dbl pumping.  Had a prob at first with low milk supply
(was using a single kit, switched to a dbl, using a Lactina).  DId extra
pumping and herbs and saw increase in supply within 24 hours.  Within a
couple of days supply was back to normal.
Since birth, mom has had a lot of hair loss.  Handfuls coming out.  Hubby is
starting to tease her about going bald.  Hair is getting extremely thin at
temples.  Mom is ready to wean because she thinks that BF is the cause.  She
has been told that the cause is her hormones, but without any references, she
refuses to believe this.  She had no probs like this after the birth of first
baby.
So question is, are there any references or studies about hair loss after
pregnancy and the relation of hair loss to hormones?
All help will be appreciated!

TIA!
Jay
