Can I still breastfeed when I have taken an X-ray during lactation?

Some women need to go to the hospital for X-ray examination for various reasons to observe the recovery of their bodies during lactation. But I'm worried that X-ray radiation will have a bad effect on babies and breastfeeding. At this time, women are very entangled. So, can I breastfeed by taking X-rays?

Women can breastfeed by taking X-rays. As we all know, pregnant women should try to avoid CT and X-ray examination, because X-ray radiation will cause the risk of fetal malformation. Some doctors also suggest that women should stop breastfeeding for 24 to 48 hours after X-ray examination. Women sometimes do general radiation tests, which will have no impact on their health, so don't worry.

Women have had X-rays, and their bodies are exposed to radiation. These radiation will gradually disappear after the body lasts for three months, but the weight is not much and will not cause harm to the body. If a woman needs to have a CT or X-ray examination because of her body or some disease, she can do it completely, without worrying about breastfeeding.

The dose and harm of X-rays are directly related to the sensitivity of individuals, and can also cause radiation sickness and affect the quality of milk. But it doesn't happen often, only once in a while, and it will recover soon without affecting feeding.
