Brief Answer:
Do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns but don't worry. Most babies do not show any significant problems after such accidental intakes of bandy plus (Albendazole) by lactating mothers. I would recommend you to be vigilant for any symptoms such as vomiting, poor feeding, lethargy and rashes in your baby. If any such symptoms appear then visit a pediatrician for complete evaluation and definitive treatment as per symptoms.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
