A quick search stated that bilberry was used to stop lactation. If your friend wants to continue breastfeeding, maybe she wants to consider to stop the supplement first? Also there is not much research done on the effects of bilberry on breastfeeding. Since not much is known and it is encouraged to avoid usage in children due to the lack of research data, better to avoid to be on the safe side. Otherwise please seek medical advices.
