Gadobenate has been safely used in infants, so it does not appear to pose a substantial risk to a breastfed infant.[1] Guidelines developed by North American professional organizations state that breastfeeding need not be disrupted after a nursing mother receives a gadolinium-containing contrast medium.[2-4]
