Hey STMs with thyroid issues...question for you

If you were interested, did you successfully breastfeed? I've been reading a lot that thyroid dysfunction can greatly affect milk supply and that breastfeeding might not be an option. I have Hashimotos and currently take 200mcg Synthroid. Pre pregnancy I was on 175mcg. I have found conflicting info on how medication affects supply. I do plan on asking my endo when I see him again but figured I would ask about experience here too. Thank you in advance!

    I have has him Otis and currently take 350mcg. I breastfed both of my kids. My first for a year with a lower dosage and my second for 19months. I didn't notice any changes in supply with either. I would have bf my first longer, but he self weaned when I was pregnant with my second.
