..."Mom told me the
medication is not her concern, that she is not going to breastfeed b/c
she has "major hypothyroidism."  She stated after her first child was
born, whenever she would put the baby to breast, she would break out in
a sweat, and sometimes pass out. "

This bit of information makes me wonder if there is some other thing going on here, possiby unrecognized emotional conflicts with breasts/body image or breastfeeding, or even a repressed sexual abuse memory?

"Babies have no way of knowing how much it costs their parents to tend to them, worry about them, and love them day and night.  They can't know, of course, until they themselves become parents someday.  Then the gift is recognized and passed on as lovingly as it was given."  -The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding
