    MRI of breast with contrast

    I am to have a breast MRI with contrast tomorrow. The radiology center has said that I must wait 48 hours after the procedure to breastfeed. My child is just over 2 years old. Just wanted to see if this is really necessary? Thank you kindly.

      galadium based. Not sure how to spell it. Said they only injected 9 cc's.

        Have a look at this discussion. This may not be the exact thing they used, but pretty much all the gadolinium-based contrast agents are the same.
