Dr Hale and all,
This might be a post someone would be searching for someday, full of
excellent info, but with only a LACTNET subject title, I fear it wouldn't be
easy to find, so I am just redoing with a specific subject line, in case.
Pardon if this is redundant...

<< Re: I-131
I, along with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, have for some time
suggested that breastfeeding following I-131 use is unwise.
Few people realize, that I-123 is actually in many cases a better agent
to use for a quick scan. It has a brief half-life and you can
breastfeed after a short interruption (NRC). According to at least one
book I've seen on radiology, I-123 actually gives a better, more
accurate scan than I-131.
Perhaps the mom should ask the radiologist about I-123.
