Hi Micaela,
Yes, that is also my understanding. However, there really should be guidance
coming from WHO and or IAEA on this so that the recommendations have both
substance from those who are real experts on this and the clout of their
institutional backing. Unfortunately, the cogs of such orgs can move very
slowly.

Subject: Re: Radiation and Breastfeeding
I am in close contact with some Japanese LLL Leaders, and they told me
that LLL Japan, JALC (Japanese Association of Lactation Consultants) and
BSN have created a special hotline to support breastfeeding mothers, and
that they are jointly working to the news release about radiation and
breastfeeding (also based on some of the material some of you shared
here on the list, as far as I could understand).
I believe that they are working as hard as they can to support mothers
and babies.
