Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Hair loss after child birth is very common
It is a natural process and is called as telogen effluvium.
Soon you will regain hair,
sometime it may last for an year or more.

I dont think any medication is needed

You will be fine.

Please meet a dermatologist if it persists.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
