I have a mom in Geneva Switzerland who is bf a 22 mo old.  She will soon be
having a cat scan with contrast dye for pulmonary AVM.  She has been told she
cannot bf for three days until the contrast dye is out of her system.  She
feels it would be easier to gradually wean her daughter altogether rather
than to not nurse her for three days.  Her daughter is a very frequent
nurser.
I don't know what the contrast dye is.  Is it radioactive?  Is it true she
cannot bf for three days?  I have suggested pumping and dumping, but she
feels trying to hold off her daughter for three days cold turkey would be too
hard.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
