HALF life is the time taken by a radioactive substance to decay half of its mass. So if a radioactive substance of 20 kg is decaying then its half life will be the time it took to decay 10 kg. Hope you understood it.
SO for 100mg half life = time taken to metabolise 50 mg
and for 50 mg half life = time taken to metabolise 25 mg

There are serious effects that can occur if the baby was exposed to it while you were pregnant or while you are nursing.
This needs to be discussed with your doctor.
