I am strictly nursing and I am waiting to stop so I can start growing my lashes. Is it safe? I read it isn't safe, but also that it isn't tested.
Answer: Latisse and Breast Feeding Since latisse has not yet been tested on breast feeding women, I wouldn't risk it. Wait until you've stopped breast feeding your child before resuming use. It's always better to err on the side of caution. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Use of latisse during nursing While it is likely safe, because of the warning in the product monograph and the lack of urgency in treating eyelashes, I'd just wait till you're done nursing. Calling MotherRisk to check on safety of Latisse or any other medicine while nursing/pregnant is always a good idea.

Answer: Latisse while nursing The package insert from Latisse states the following: "It is not known whether LATISSE® solution is excreted in human milk, although in animal studies, bimatoprost has been shown to be excreted in breast milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when LATISSE® is administered to a nursing woman." I would NOT advise using Latisse while breast feeding.
