Default hair falling out

I am loosing a lot of hair. Like maybe 50-100 strands in the shower, more when I brush it, and I'm constantly finding it throughout the day on myself or the baby. What could be causing this?

I clicked on this thread getting ready to post, "If you're not 4 months post partum, go to the doctor" ... but you are. So you're fine. You'll lose a bunch and then it should start growing back in.

It starts around three months post-partum for me too. It's crazy how much falls out. Totally normal though.
