Are eyelash extensions compatible with breastfeeding?

Question

I am a breastfeeding mom and got eyelash extensions. They do not touch the eyelid. However could the glue fumes penetrate the breast milk? Thank you in advance

I don't think there should be anything to worry about with your eyelash extensions and breast feeding. However, you might want to call your Ob/Gyn just to be sure. Best, Dr. Nazarian

There is no evidence that eyelash extensions affect your breast milk. Make sure you go to a reputable salon for the extensions and uses non-toxic adhesive for the safety of your own vision. If you use contacts, remove them nightly to prevent eye infections. I'm a fan of rephresh eye drops to keep your eyes clean and lubricated. Warmly, Jennifer Murphy, M.D.
