Hi, fellow LCs. I'm an LC from Dallas, Texas and this is my first Lactnet question. I received a call from a mother who is nursing a 1year old and a 3 year old and is in the process of having her fillings removed because of her concern about mercury poisoning. Her questions are:1. while filllings are being removed, what precautions should be taken while nursing.(one doctor said she should not nurse for 24 - 48 hours) . 2. After all the fillings are removed, is it necessary for her to take theDMPS (which is supposed to bind with the mercury and help it pass out of her system). 3. Will the mercury pass out through her milk as well as her urine? 4. Would DSMA be a better drug to take for this purpose. I realize that this is not a common question for LCs but this is not the first mother who has called me about this in the last few years...Anybody got any ideas?
