TSH level of my new born
Hi, my daughter is one month old today. At time of her birth, TSH was done and it was within normal limits. But now the doctor is telling that it's higher in normal range , so a retest is required at 30 days to see TSH again. Attaching the report for reference. Is it higher ? A retest is really required for my baby? Kindly advise. I have hypothyroidism and taking medication regularly for last one year. Is it because of mother that baby gets TSH.
