Will hypothyroidism in mother be inherited to child?

Patient's question:

Once, I had the child checked, and they said the child had high antibodies. The doctor said it was nothing to worry about. Now the child is 2 weeks and 7 months old, and all developmental aspects are normal. It's hard to see any differences between the child and other kids. I'm wondering if another check-up is still necessary. I'm not sure what to decide, so please give me a detailed explanation.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if the woman has hypothyroidism, it does not affect the health of the offspring. However, if the man has it, then attention should be paid.
