Yes: A woman who was breastfeeding prior to an x-ray can resume breastfeeding after the x-ray, regardless of who got the x-ray or which parts of the body got the x-ray.

Absolutely: There is no problem with breastfeeding after obtaining a routine x-ray such as an x-ray of the chest, abdomen, or a bone.

Usually yes: As long as contrast or other medications were not used before, during or after the exam, the xray does not affect breast milk. If you took some medication, you should ask your doctor when you can safely breastfeed your child.
