Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Yes, mercury is reported to pass into the mothers milk and contain about 10% of her blood level of mercury. Also, any exposure during pregnancy is dangerous, since fetal RBC's ahve an affinity factor 30% greater than the mothers RBC's. Lyn [ ] Hi all! Hi all! I just joined this list about a week ago and I really appreciate all of the messages. I'm learning so much. Now, I have a question. If someone is having fillings put in their teeth, could the mercury be present in breast milk? I just looked back, and found out that I did have fillings put in during my daughter's 21st and 22nd month (MMR/DPT/oral polio was at 20 months). She stopped nursing at 25 months. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 - It sounds like you have a wonderful start in all this. I noticed in one of your messages you state you are from NC - so am I!! We have a wonderful support group that meets in Raleigh and I know of many people in surrounding areas. Please let me know where in NC you live so I can connect with you some wonderful people who can help with SLP's, OTs and PTs - they are also wonderful people to lean on for support. This listserve is so important to me - but It is also nice to be able to meet people face to face who are going through the same things as you are. It is also nice to get the Dad's together because it seems they all " deal " with this the same way. By the way - I have an almost 4 year old son who was diagnosed with apraxia of speech when he was 2 1/2. He is doing WONDERFUL - although we still have a long road ahead of us.... I am looking forward to hearing from you - also, please check out my website (www.verbaldyspraxia.com) if you are interested. It is small but very personal... > I feel like I have been part of this group for a long > time now even though it has been only a couple of > days.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Decided to check in. Have'nt had time to catch up on much as I have been super busy with changes at my real job. Haven't caught on to all that has been happening but decided I did not want to miss anything important happening to anyone within the CML Family so will check in here periodically.
