Certified Breastfeeding Counselor (CBC) Practice

Radioisotopes are considered contraindicated for breastfeeding mothers because they are substances that emit radiation. When a breastfeeding mother is exposed to radioisotopes, this radiation can potentially be transferred to the baby through breast milk, which can be harmful to the baby's health and development. Breastfeeding mothers should always consult with healthcare providers before taking any medication or undergoing any procedures to ensure the safety of their baby. Antibiotics, probiotics, and painkillers are generally considered safe for breastfeeding mothers when prescribed or used appropriately and under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
