Question

Ever since I've had my baby my hair has just stopped growing. What should I do to make it grow?

Answer 1

Continue to take a multivitamin, or better yet your prenatal vitamins..do you breast feed? Because it could cause that especially if your baby is taking in all the vitamins through breast feeding.

Answer 2

How long has it been since you had the baby? Has your diet changed? Are you nursing?

Normally hair growth speeds up a lot during pregnancy, and may slow down for a while after the baby is born. If your diet contains insufficient protein or calories, you should fix your diet.  

Answer 3

If you have stopped taking your prenatal vitamins, that is probably the cause of it. Try a womens daily vitamin, such as One-A-Day Women's. That should help you out. It did for me.  

Answer 4

Start taking prenatal Vitamins again..they are still good for you!

Answer 5

well you are lucky because your hair stopped growing. My hair has been falling out. I'm getting bald..errrrrr....

I have started to take B6, B12 Vitamins. I hope they will help. Good luck!

Answer 6

Try biotin and B6, B12.

Answer 7

You can continue taking prenatal vitamins.  My doc said they are perfectly fine for all women of child-bearing age to take, even when not trying to conceive.

Answer 8

I'm in the opposite boat from you. since I had my baby, my hair WON'T stop growing. It's getting so thick and little baby hairs are starting to sprout out now, they look like devil horns. Can't hair spray them down so they just stick up.

Are you still taking your prenatal vitamins? those are supposed to be really good for the hair.  

Answer 9

Go get yourself a nice hair cut and keep taking your prenatal vitamins.  Make sure you're well rested and hydrated.

You can't force the hair to grow, but if you are healthy it will be healthy.

Good luck!
