Brief Answer:
No need to diet now

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns about PCOS.

Nitrofurantoin is safe and it won't affect baby by breast feeding. You can continue the same.

There is no need to plug baby's ears. It's not going to harm.

You need to lose at least 20 kg. But don't try it for 6 months at least as you are feeding. Dieting now will reduce breast milk.

Continue hypothyroidism medicines.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Regards
Dr. Soumya
