This could most definitely be hyperthyroidism.  I have seen women with
hyperthyroidism diagnosed during the pregnancy not develop much in the way
of milk-making tissue.  Getting diagnosed and treated now may not help her
milk supply mush at this point, but needs to be done for her general health.

I would get a prolactin level as well.  If it is very low it would be
helpful information.
