Do I need to pump and dump?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I have to have a chest x-ray next week for work. I don't think there is any way around it. Its legallay mandated because I work on a site where asbestos is present and I've already put it off 18 months becuase I was 2 months pregnant when I started this job. I pump while I'm at work and my DD BF when I'm home. Do I need to pump and dump after the X-ray? For how long? Good news is I have plenty of milk frozen so that's not an issue.

TIA

Regular X-rays such as a chest X-ray or dental X-rays do not affect the milk or the baby and the mother may nurse without concern.

Doh! Why didn't I think to check kellymom? Thanks though! That's reassuring. I definitely didn't want to ask at the clinic, seriously doubt they have a clue about breastfeeding since they only do work-related stuff.
