Does baby get exposed to silicone that diffuses from silicone breast implants?
Silicon concentrations in breast milk were not shown to be higher in women with silicone breast implants versus women without silicone breast implants. Silicon is a component in silicone, so that the study looking at this was not wholly conclusive, and if any component of silicone is in fact present in breast milk the effects of this will not be known until further studies are performed.
