X-rays and BFing

in May 2011 Moms

DD has to get an x-ray done on Friday. My mother, who has a tendency to take over(but don't they all?), has taken off of work on Friday to go to the appointment with us. I told her last week that she didn't need to take off since I can handle it just fine. Now she is saying that I won't be allowed in the room with DD when she gets the x-ray since I am bfing because it will mess with the milk. Therefore, she must go to the appointment with us so that she can be there to hold DD still for the x-ray. On one hand, I can see how that could happen. On the other hand, they are going to expose the actual infant to the x-rays so I'm sure my breast milk will be fine.

 Anyone have any experience with this? I plan on asking the Dr. about it, but figured I would go ahead and look into it now since I think this is my mom's way of forcing me to take her when we see the specialist.

    Yes, exactly what I was thinking but then she got me doubting myself.

    You will be fine, they will just have you wear one of those x-ray vest things.

    Totally not true. My older son had several x-rays while I was BFing my younger one and I was always allowed in. They make a huge deal asking you whether you are pregnant (because then it is a no-go) but the BFing is not an issue.
