I am having trouble accessing Lactmed and looking for information on breastfeeding a three year old post PET scan with FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose), radioactive isotope being used. Hale's info is to not breastfeed for 12 hr and not have close contact for 9hr. This info from 2010. Wondering if anyone have an experience with mothers who have undergone PET scan. And is the time limit from the start of infusion of isotope or after it is stopped. Appreciate feedback; this is for my daughter.
