Breastfed 12 hours after hida scan?

Tina:
There's no problem at all here. HIDA scans use radioactive Technetium-99. This is a really weak isotope and most nuclear authorities don't even recommend interrupting breastfeeding at all as it is not dangerous at all to an infant.
Tc-99 has a half life of only 6 hours. I generally recommend pumping and discarding for 3-4 half lives, but this is just because most any woman can do this easily.
In your case, you have nothing to worry about.
