I don't see this info in Hale's book, but I seriously doubt that this
eye drop would necessitate stopping breastfeeding.  What information did
that LC have to back up her rather strong advice to stop breastfeeding?

Thanks for all the suggestions I received for this baby.  The first one
she tried worked.  She got into a whirlpool tub and the baby went right
to the breast and nursed for 30 minutes.  However, the next day she was
diagnosed with Ocular Herpes.  She is on eye drops every 2 hours
(trifluridine 1%
opth/solution) brand name Varoplic.  She called 2 LC one told her it was
fine to continue nursing the other said no and to pump and dump.

I'm going to find out from Dr Hale if these meds are ok.  Since they are
only going into the eye I don't see any reason for this to pass thru to
her breastmilk.

She stopped nursing Wed evening, and has been pumping and dumping to
keep up her supply.  She has at least a months supply of breastmilk in
the freezer. Baby is now 8 months old.

I'm hoping that we can get this baby back to the breast again.  Mom is a
trooper and is willing to keep trying.
