Hi
Thanks for posting your querry.
As your elders pointed out hair fall after delivery is called as telogen effluvium. It disappears in six months.if not
We must rule out
1. Anemia
2. Hypothyroidism
You can do the following tests
1. Thyroid profile
2. Serum ferritin level
If there is deficiency it can be rectified
Please cosult nearest dermatologist or trichologist for help.
Meanwhile good food with XXXXXXX proteins and XXXXXXX leafy vegetables will help her
Good day
