There are two types of dye for MRI ionated and gadolinium. Both of them are rapidly excreted from body in few hours. Baby absorbs 0.01% of ionated and 0.004% of gadolinium dye, which is very safe amount. Hence breastfeeding can be continued. If you are still anxious, Express and store your feed for next 12 hours and give to baby
