You seem to be suffering from excessive hair fall called telogen effluvium,as you mentioned, probably post pregnancy. This can take a few months to improve as the hair has to get back to its regular growth cycle. Also, the body had to get back its strength and nutrition. The overall hair growth and rate of growth may be affected more in your case due to other causes as well.
Genetic or family associated hair loss and receding hair line can make you prone to the same.
In your case, the hair fall ,maybe prolonged due to other factors as well, such as poor nutrition, stress, lack of rest, low iron and hemoglobin levels,
Dandruff,Chemical treatments,dyes on hair can also aggravate hair fall.
For your hair to grow well, it needs sufficient nutrition.Fever, typhoid, recent illness, water change, work stress, pollution etc is a factor.
Any illness or course of medication, application etc could slow the growth.

These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth.

For now you may start with Ducray Anaphase shampoo. Apply almond oil or Recute hair oil to stimulate new growth. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months to see results. You can consult your regular doctor regarding taking a biotin vitamin supplement daily during lactation.
I would advise you to avoid Mintop at present.
Do start with the treatment as advised and see a doctor for follow up. But do keep in mind it will take time to improve. It would help if you could narrow down on a possible cause and avoid it.
be sure to continue your regular iron etc as advised post pregnancy.

Also get a good nutritious diet, avoid stress,pollution, get good rest, required for healthy hair.
Hope this helps.
