Answer by Dr. Ru: About Thyrotropin (human a-subunit reduced) usage in lactation
It is not secreted into breast milk because of a large molecular weight. It is readily destroyed by the child’s stomach acid milieu. Keep in mind that there is a known anovulatory effect of lactation that is related to sucking frequency.
