No lybrate-user. Please continue feeding as previously. Just continue taking your medicine. Thyroid does not have much effect on the quality of milk or does not pass onto the baby via breastmilk.

No need to stop feeding at all but you need to keep your thyroid level normal and get babie's thyroid profile also done. To be on safer side.

Thyroid problems are not contraindications for feeding. You can continue feeding but some medicines are not advised in lactating mothers.
