Sir
High TSH shows low thyroid function, hypothyroid not hyperthyroid .
The baby will be on medication for the same .
Mother's hypothyroid status clinical or sub clinical + iodine deficiency is the reason a baby will be born as congenital hypothyroidism.

It's understandable to feel concerned upon receiving such news about your newborn. However, it's important to clarify that a TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) level of 12 in a newborn typically indicates hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism means the thyroid gland is underactive and doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone, which is crucial for proper growth and development.The good news is that congenital hypothyroidism is treatable with medication.
