Absolutely no reason the mother should even contemplate stopping
breastfeeding because of the MRI, not even for one second. She should
breastfeed while she's having the MRI. (Well, that would be a little
inconvenient). The amount of Gadopentetate that gets into the milk is
minimal, and almost none is actually absorbed by the baby.
