Interrupting Feeding
- Feb 18, 2014
The American College College of Radiology supports not interrupting breastfeeding for X-rays, MRIs, CAT scans, Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP), ultrasounds or mammograms. For more information visit: http://kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/meds/radioisotopes/ It is always advisable to check with a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, the LactMed site (http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT) or Dr. Hale's Breastfeeding and Medications guide when someone suggests that you stop or interrupt breastfeeding.
