Jean, someone asked your question back in May and here is Jack Newman's
response.  He is not available currently to answer questions so I'll send
you what he wrote.

Subject:      IVP
To: [log in to unmask]

No need to sacrifice breastfeeding on the altar of ignorance.  The
mother does not have to express her milk and feed it to the fish at
all.

1. We do IVP's in tiny babies.
2. A small increase in the iodine in the milk will do no harm to the
baby.
3. The mother should make her own decision.
4. If I were the mother I wouldn't think of giving the baby formula
and would take my chances with that tiny bit of iodine.
