I am a lactating mom and was treated for hypothyroidism before pregnancy. I am continuing with thyroid tablets currently and having thyroid in normal range. Is it fine to continue the tables or should I stop taking it. My baby is currently 4 months old.

If your thyroid is normal after taking the meds then continue. Repeat the test after 1 month.

Thyroid supplements are safe for baby. It doesn’t affect your breast feeding. Dose can be revised to previous dose you are taking and stopping on your own is not advisable. When was your thyroid test done?
