Titanium doesn't rust or corrode, that's why it's often used in medical 
and dental implants. There are no worries.
Poor mama.

She has been pumping and dumping (aaarrrggghhh) since day 2.  I told  her it wouldn't rust and if it somehow came thru breast duct to nipple it would make her uncomfortable, but if baby swallowed it it would be no big deal and would be excreted.  She was also told she will need a mammo as soon as baby weans.  Somedays I feel like screaming - where has common sense gone???  Pat in SNJ
