X-rays safe while BFing?

[capsgirl08]

Everything I've read online seems to indicate that it is, barring any medication that may be taken for the procedure.

Just posting for solidarity and to see if anyone knew otherwise.

Thank you, mamas!

What kind?

I had my brokey toe xrayed 4 times while pregnant and breastfeeding. (ETA that sounds like a crazy number of xrays - but it was broken in 3 places and dislocated 90 degrees.) Ow.

I had a pelvic CAT scan with barium swallow done while breastfeeding.

No pump and dump.

I think just regular x-rays are fine, I hold for them all the time at work, and it was only while pregnant that I had to get someone to stand in for me.

Yup, safe. Even a lot of the contrast agents are safe while BFing (though a select few are very UNsafe, so double check if they're using one).
