Brief Answer:
Prescribed medicines are fine, they are safe in lactation.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It is normal to lose hair 3-4 months after delivery. The medicines prescribed to you are safe in lactation. They won't cause any side effects in your child. More sleeping of the baby is coincidental. It is not related to these medicines.

Hope I have answered your query.
