Explanation of Solution
Congenital hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid problem in babies, and this occurs when a baby’s thyroid does not make enough thyroid hormone for its body.The most common cause of thyroid problems is because of the improper development of the thyroid gland during early pregnancy, when the thyroid gland develops at the base of the brain and is supposed to move towards the lower neck but it might not move to the correct position during pregnancy and in turn leave only a section of the thyroid. In some cases, sometimes there may not be a thyroid present at all.Therefore, every newborn baby should test for thyroid problems within a few days after birth. Treatment for babies with thyroid problems involves daily replacement doses of synthetic thyroid hormone tablets.
