The gadolinium agents that are used for MRI scans can stay in the body for many hours after the initial injection.  Because of this,  it is recommended that mothers who recently gave birth do not breast feed their child if they received an injection of gadolinium within 2 days.

The gadolinium can have levels in the breast milk for the first few hours, and many hours after.   The agent needs to be properly filtered from the body before it would be considered safe to breast feed a baby. 

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with NSF following a contrast MRI procedure, contact the NSF lawyers of Williams Kherkher to find out if you have grounds for a legal claim. Call 800-761-3187 today.
