With hypothyroidism, one does not have to wean. One has to get the
condition under control. The medication for thyroid replacement is
acceptable and compatible with bf.

This mom's numbers are HIGH though. Maybe she is experiencing a thryoid
hormone overload temporarily. I myself had this happen...and then my levels
dropped ...afterwards. Are you sure they aren't talking of hyperthyroidism?

The place to check these things is with reliable resources, with another
knowledgeble doctor..etc..I want to remind you that Lactnet archives are
not checked for accuracy. Every post there is as it was entered by the
sender, correct or *not*.

Checking the archives before posting is also politely but emphatically
requested.  Try it sometime. It is fun to do...and we would gladly help
anyone who is trying to do this wonderful trick.



Thanks! Kathleen
