Given the information in Dr. Hale's book, and an article published by a
radiologist that all the Gadolineum in the mother's body would be
excreted by 6 hours, why is 24 hours of "pumping and dumping" (AAARG!)
considered conservative.  This is overly cautious.  If it were me I
would keep breastfeeding.  What is the problem with being exposed to
gadolineum.  Does anyone want to tell me?
