A member asked:
So thyroid hormones come through into breastmilk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A very small: Amount is present in breast milk, whether you have your own thyroid secretion or are on replacement. It's in insignificant amount, and (if normal) baby makes it's own thyroid hormone and can easily adjust production to cover that received through feeding. Don't worry, the system works well by itself.
