A member asked:
I received a ct with 80ml omnipaque 350 and a mri with 10 ml gavist after i delivered. would this cause me to be radioactive? i held my son shortly after. i also didnt pause breastfeeding because no one said to. would these medicines hurt my son?

No, these contrast agents are not radioactive and will not affect your son. There was no need to pause breastfeeding or pump and discard your milk because the tiny amounts that might appear in the breast milk would harmlessly pass through the baby.
