Women with hypothyroidism can breastfeed normally. Because women need to take drugs to control the disease, but the amount of drugs passed through breast milk is low, so it generally does not affect the baby's thyroid function. If the baby has hypothyroidism, normal growth and development will be affected, and early treatment is needed.
