I am a breastfeeding mom who considers lasik eye surgery. I know that vision can change during pregnancy, but does the same apply to breastfeeding? Is it better to wait?

Indefinitely in worst case scenarios, but that would be very rare. Most halos or star bursts, if they even occur, resolve in days if not weeks or months. They are very rare after 6 months.
I would recommend more time than a week before LASIK and blepharoplasty. It’s better to give your eyes the chance to heal completely before undergoing another surgery in the same area. You can get dry eye from blepharoplasty, and you don’t want to do anything that might be...
In my experience, pupil size is not the only factor for what I assume is a halo issue for you. Set your goals on functioning well, whether that is the use of drops or temporary glasses. Things do generally improve over time.
