I have a question about the radioactivity in Breast milk once Mom has pumped. A patient was receiving Tech 99 for a scan and was instructed to pump for 24 hours. She also was told that instead of dumping this milk, she could save it and feed it to the baby at a later time, because the radioactivity would dissipate in the pumped milk in about 48 hours. I am not sure of the chemical breakdown of the radioactivity in the milk. Does anyone know if this is appropriate information? Most of the literature advises pumping and dumping.
