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)

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
