I understand it is sometimes normal for women to lose hair while
nursing, even when taking plenty of vitamins. Anyone here ever
experienced this? How long does it last? Does it grow back?

It isn't that your hair falls out because you're nursing. It's because,
while you're pregnant, you tend not to lose hair you would normally
lose.
This means, post-partum, you shed more hair than you normally would
because
you are losing not only the hair that you would normally lose, but also
the
hair you should have lose while you were pregnant, but didn't. Generally
speaking, it is a non-issue and you don't lose so much hair that you run
the
risk of going bald, nor do you need to grow back more hair to make up
for
the loss.

Thanks for all the replies. This is not what my wife is seeing- her
haid is getting thin- thinner than before she was pregnant, which is
why she is worried.

Do you think it's getting thin? I was convinced with #1 that so much had
come out (my hair was down to my waist so it seemed loads) that I was
getting bald patches. As it also felt thinner (partually because it was
winter and colder, partually because it was thinner than the pregnant state)
I felt as though I was losing too much.
I lost loads of hair for 6 months and it didn't stop falling out until about
12 months.
