Hello Wise Friends,
one of the moms in my LLL group called this evening.  Seems her 3 year 
old's hand accidentally intersected with her eye over the weekend.  Mom 
can barely see; having lots of pain, too.  She is currently nursing an 8-
month old son.  The eye docs are concerned with her continuing to 
breastfeed while using the following eye-drops:
a. wetting drops
b.  antibiotic drops
c.  Xibrom  (generic name is bromfenac, I believe)
d.  Econopred Plus, which is a steroid/anti-inflammatory combo.

My Hale is at the office unfortunately.  Have any of you worked with a mom 
who'd experienced something of this nature?  I just can't imagine things 
being used in the eyes as potentially harmful to that baby.  She's 
supposed to use these med for 3-5 days.

Many thanks for any info you can share!
