Ladytmsk1,

Carbimazole can pass through the placenta and through breast milk so pregnant women are usually switched to Propythiouracil (PTU) in the UK. If, for some reason, the woman has to take Carbimazole I believe the infant is given regular blood tests to check s/he has not become hypothyroid.

There are posts on breatfeeding and anti-thyroid drugs in healthunlocked.com/search/b...
