Re: silver amalgam removal while breastfeeding?

Right after removal(as it is done improperly in most cases) relatively large amounts will go in your blood through lungs and intestines. Then some of this will end up in your breast milk, stools, urine, sweat... and some trapped into your body.
Briefly it's not wise to remove them while you breastfeed your child.

In my opinion more important problem is that your baby is getting some mercury even now. Depends on how much Amalgams you have.

If you don't vaccinate your child that's good.
But you have to be on alert in the future about some problems because of your amalgams.

Hope this can help. I don't want to scare you just to help.

Other studies in addition to the studies that the Government Health Standards were based on have found adverse health effects at very low levels of exposure(4,21) and developmental effects on infants and children at very low levels of exposure(25,26,12), along with finding that mercury vapor from a mother’s fillings is readily transferred through the mother’s blood across the placenta to a fetus and also through mother’s milk(26,21).

Some women in the group were found to have transferred excessive mercury to their infants solely through their breast milk. One breast-fed baby had three times the EPA's safe level for mercury by the time he was 4 months old; and another had 4 times the EPA safe level at 19 months. Some of the infants with high mercury levels suffered severe neurological problems such as autism, and improved when treated for mercury toxicity. Mercury accumulates in the major organs that receive large amounts of blood, with cumulative damage and effects that often are not fully recognized until later in life(43,21).
