Hi Everyone: I had a mom contact me today, she has a 3 month old baby and
plans to breastfeed long term, however she is hyperthyroid and needs to
have a scan done and then will need RAdioactive thyroid treatment. Her
endocrinologist plans to use I-131 to destroy part of her thyroid. From
what I can find she should stop breastfeeding for 50-52 days, but then
somewhere else it said she should stop...does that mean forever? Could
someone get back to me tonight? I am leaving for vacation for a week
tomorrow and she doesn't want to wait. Thanks...BArb
