A TSH value of 6.55 suggests mild hypothyroidism, and it is important to keep your thyroid levels well controlled, especially while breastfeeding. Thyroxine is safe during breastfeeding and does not harm your baby. Do not stop the medicine on your own, and take it regularly on an empty stomach for the best results.
