I have read much about thyroid and breastfeeding on Lactnet and now I have a
real life situation and realize I may not understand it as well as I thought.
 Case: Primip 4 days PP with 10lb male born by C-section.  Worked with this
couple as baby not latching well-sleepy, mucousy, etc.  Mom has semi-flat
nipples but workable.  Began pumping after feeding attempts on second day.
 Never able to hand express or pump any visible signs of production-at 4
days, still soft and no sign of production.  Mom tells me raised around
Hanford and mother died of CA, dad with thyroid problems linked to exposure.
 Had this mom's TSH checked and is 1.0 normal .35-7.0.  Is it possible since
level low normal that this could interfere?  Had breast changes during
pregnancy. Has hx of miscarriagesx3.  Any help?     TIA
