BF while working with inhalational anaesthetic?

I go back to work before too long and I may be exposed to low levels of isoflurane some days. I avoided this during pregnancy, but my gut feeling is that it's not really a big concern while BF, due to the tiny amounts/rapid removal etc ... anyone got any words of wisdom?

Hello - I'm just back to work this week (sob!) in a Medical Library and have looked up Therapeutics in Pregnancy and Lactation (2000, ed Lee) for you. It says that Halogenated anaesthetic agents are compatible with breastfeeding and this refers to mothers who are using them as therapy.

You are a wonderful person - thank you!
