yellow in baby’s eyes - tear duct?

Just keep cleaning them with cooled boiled water. My baby has this only just started getting better and he's 5 weeks now he's had it since birth. Unless his eyes start getting red and irritated I wouldn't worry. It's normal they can't produce tears until much later so they can get blocked and produce gunk. U can do a tear duct massage that can help tye blockage as well x

The midwife told me that if it’s yellow then continue to clean at home. If it goes green then it may require some drops from the doctor.

thankyou!! my midwife wasnt much help when i mentioned it 🥲

If you’re breastfeeding/expressing you can also use breast milk on the eyes to help clean them. X

We had this problem, so we boiled water and used cotton wool balls, but allowed them to cool, then cleared the eye nearly every hour. Unfortunately the discharge did change green and she needed antibiotic eye drops, which cleared it in two days. We continued to clean the eyes and used colostrum I have collected x

Breast milk work wonders for a clog tear duct

We had this problem, we had to go doctors and we got given some eye drops, request an appointment just in case it’s conjunctivitis or something x

I used a bit of colostrum for my daughter whenever she had a gunky eye and it worked quicker than eye drops x

My little one had this and they gave me some drops for conjunctivitis as a precaution - make sure every cotton wall wipe, you are throwing it away and then using a new one per wipe. If you’re breastfeeding, express a bit and wipe with that too, that helped us! And make sure the water is boiled and cooled, to ensure it’s sterile xx
