Hypothyroid and Breastfeeding

I have Hashimoto Hypothyroid and take levothyroxine. I’m planning to breastfeed but I’m finding out that:

1. Studies also indicate there may be a negative effect on oxytocin.

2. Mothers with hypothyroidism are at risk for delayed or insufficient milk production.

I’m nervous I won’t be able to produce enough milk to breastfeed. Any moms out there who have experience with hypothyroidism and breastfeeding?

Were you successful? Any extra precautions needed?

I will definitely be discussing this with my endocrinologist at my next appointment but wanted to hear from others in the mean time.
