Hi, as you mentioned in the question, you are lactating a one year old child. That means you have delivered about an year ago and after that within 2-3 months your hair loss has started. The loss you are facing is called as post partum alopecia in medical terms. The major reason behind this is the hormonal changes after delivery which lead to increased hair loss, and adding on to that people do not follow up on the diet and nutrition after delivery. When pregnant females take iron supplements and proper diet which also support hair growth apart from the hormonal reasons. After delivery altogether they stop the supplements and due to this and hormonal reasons the problem tends to aggravate. So please start taking lot of protein and iron rich diet and also you can use iron supplement for few months. If you have any further queries, consult in private through Lybrate.
