Abstract
-Despite the overwhelming advantages of breast-feeding, there is a persistent concern that maternal exposure to chemical contaminants may result in contamination of breast milk and have an effect on the child's growth and development. A parallel concern regarding lactation in women with silicone implants has led to confusion and anxiety relating to the potential risks to the child. In this article we review the known issues as we know them, including biomaterials, lactation toxicology, and a recent study where we found no difference in silicon (a proxy measurement of silicone) in women breast-feeding with silicone implants and those without.
