Pump-out breast milk and keep it in refrigerator for some days before procedure.
After test is done, keep-on pumping the breast (to stimulate milk production), and, dispose it for 8 to 24 hours (1 week if dose is 20 Mbq=0,5mCi). Feed the baby with stored milk.
(Choose the shortest half-life span radionucleotide as possible)
