Is it allowed to take Thallium-201 during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

The infant may receive radioactive emissions just by being held on mother’s lap. Pump-out mother’s milk some days before procedure is done and keep it frozen. After this, keep-on breast pumping (to stimulate milk production) and dispose extracted milk for the next two weeks. Use previously expressed milk to feed the infant, or/and infant formula, as necessary. Choose the shortest half-life span radionucleotide drug as possible.
