DrSneha Swapnil KeluskarMom of a 4 yr 10 m old girl3 years agoA. Hello, I am Dr. Sneha Keluskar (M.D. Homeopathy), Hypothyroidism is a condition where your Thyroid gland is underactive due to some stress, either internal or external.
Babies does not need to get tested, even if mother has hypothyroidism because until and unless our body is exposed to some stress our glands function well.
I hope your query is resolved.
Regards,

Dr Chaithra PadarMom of a 3 yr 1 m old child3 years agoA. Every baby should get their TSH done as a screening in the first week irrespective of mother's/family member's thyroid status. Hypothyroidism in baby if not detected and treated early can lead to permanent damage to child. So it's mandatory to screen your baby even if you dint have hypothyroidism.
