I'm sorry, all, for not yet revealing what the "coming soon" announcement was. In the process of creating it, a major family event happened that has commanded my full attention and put me in a very, very dark place. When I'm able, I will continue my pursuit and share it all with you. In the meantime, pray for our family as we heal and not let faith be shaken by evil that intrudes.

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Were you told to pump and dump for x number of hours after imaging? That is almost never necessary! I was recently told 60 hours after a HIDA scan which was WAY overkill and I actually showed them the research to debunk their recommendation.
Less than 1% of the most common agents used make their way in breastmilk, and less than 1% absorbed by baby's GI tract! Specifics below 👇
🔅Ask what contrast you're getting!
🔅Barium- no need to interrupt feeding or pumping
🔅Iodinated agents- no need to interrupt feeding or pumping
🔅Gadolinium agents- no need to interrupt feeding or pumping
🔅HIDA scan- ask exactly what you're getting because breastfeeding may be interrupted for 4-24 hours. Feel free to message me once you find out what they're using or call the Infant Risk Center to ask them!
🔅Are you being given something else? Send me a message and I can help guide you, or call Infant Risk Center! ❤️

Build a support network with local NWA moms who are breastfeeding, planning to breastfeed, or have breastfed! This group is all about making connections, sharing stories, getting advice, and being part of a special community. You don't have to be going through breastfeeding problems to come- just come make some friends! Or maybe you are struggling and need some guidance 💛
