I have Hashimoto thyroiditis myself and am currently breastfeeding my third
child. My antibody levels were sky high when I was bf my first. However,
those antibodies are too large to pass into the milk. There's no reason why
a mom with this condition shouldn't breastfeed.
Her thyroid hormone levels should be monitored very well after delivery to
make sure her replacement therapy intake is still correct.
