Question

Does hypothyroidism during breastfeeding affect infants? If the infant also has eczema, will it affect the eczema?

Answer

Medications taken during breastfeeding can be secreted through breast milk, potentially affecting the infant. It is recommended to opt for artificial feeding during medication. Hypothyroidism does not affect an infant’s eczema. Regarding pediatric diabetes, if a child has been diagnosed with diabetes, immediate treatment should be initiated, including tube feeding to reduce pressure and the adoption of good hygiene habits. Parents should avoid their child’s preference for certain foods and provide a balanced diet.
