Lash Growth Serum (Prostaglandin-Based)

Prostaglandin-based lash serums (like Latisse/bimatoprost) should be avoided while breastfeeding. Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analog that can be absorbed systemically through the skin near the eyes. Prostaglandins play roles in uterine contraction, blood pressure regulation, and inflammation — none of which you want to inadvertently affect while nursing. Non-prostaglandin lash serums (peptide-based) are a safer option.
