Dear Lactnet Friends:

Here's what LactMed says about that:

"*Summary of Use during Lactation:*
Although early investigators recommended withholding breastfeeding
following administration of gadopentetate, a more recent and much larger
study indicated that the amounts of *gadolinium* excreted into breastmilk
are less than 1% of the amount allowed to be given to infants. In addition,
because gadopentetate is poorly absorbed orally, it is not likely to reach
the bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed
infants. Guidelines developed by several professional organizations state
that breastfeeding need not be disrupted after a nursing mother receives a
*gadolinium*-containing contrast medium.[1][2][3]"

warmly,
