Answer by DrLact: About Water O-15 usage in lactation

Information in this record refers to the use of Water O-15 as a diagnostic agent. No information is available on the use of Water O-15 during breastfeeding. The International Commission on Radiological Protection states that breastfeeding need not be interrupted after administration of oxygen 15 radiopharmaceuticals because of the isotope's short half-life.[1]
