Hi! I am a breastfeeding mum of 8mo infant. I had been down with bacteria throat infection (mild tonsils pustules). I noticed the betadine and Difflam label states to avoid if breastfeeding. Will it impact much to my 8mo infant on thyroid function? I read studies demonstrating of higher dosage and longer term application uses in other studies. I didn’t want to take antibiotics
