Hair shedding 😫

Hey! 👋🏼 Has anyone one experienced a sudden increase in hair shedding? I have quite thick hair and don’t usually shed that much hair when washing/brushing etc. But last month or so, I brush my hair and so much comes out, more than average I would say. A good ball of hair! My little one is 2 now - but I’m still BF for reference. So it could be hormonal maybe. But is just really odd to me! As I’ve never lost this much hair. Anyone else had similar? How did you help it? Did stop? Did you go dr? Thank you! 🙏🏼
