That's a good question. I looked in Cutler's book about how breastfeeding affects a hair test and he mentions (on pg. 164) that "lactation has a significant but not well characterized effect on mineral transport."

Personally, I would get a hair test while breastfeeding and then again afterwards so I could compare the two (Cutler shows test results from a woman who did just this and discusses the comparisons).
