With TSH 5.93 you need Thyronorm. I feel you should start Thyronorm at 100 mcg in the morning.  The baby has his own Thyroid which is tested at the time of birth (cord blood or tested on day 3). But breast milk should have a sufficient amount of Thyroid hormone which will be additional help for the baby.

You need to start medicines. Medicine will not affect your baby. Consult physician or endocrinologist for the same.
