Randy,

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Drugs PTU is
compatible with breastfeeding.

Two references that may be useful to you:
Low LCK et al. Excretion of carbimazole and propylthiouracil in breast
milk. Lancet 1979;2:1011.

Kampmann JP et al. Propylthiouracil in hman milk. Lancet 1980;1:736.

Good luck,
Julie
