Levothyroxine (Synthroid)
Levothyroxine is safe and important to continue during breastfeeding. Thyroid hormone is naturally present in breast milk, and supplementation maintains normal levels. Consult your healthcare provider.
Levothyroxine replaces naturally occurring thyroid hormone and is essential for moms with hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone passes into breast milk naturally; supplementation keeps levels in the normal range. Untreated hypothyroidism can reduce milk supply and harm maternal health. Thyroid requirements often increase postpartum — check with your endocrinologist about dose adjustments.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
