My son had this from birth it was a blocked tear duct keep cleaning it with cotton wool and cooked boiled water. If you are breastfeeding you can try using your milk to clean it as well. Massage using draining movements from the corner of the eye out to the ear

Yes my son had this from 2 weeks through to about 4. Had to keep cleaning with cold boiled water and a cotton bud. All clear now and he’s just 5 weeks today x

Same as ours was a blocked tear duct. Within 2 days of doing the massages (we were advised from inner corner of eye down along the nose, you can google how to do it) it cleared up! Keep clean with cool boiled water. The HV initially thought it was conjunctivitis but the DR said his inner eye would have also been red ( which it wasn’t)
