I think my little girl has got conjunctivitis, has anyone else little one had it and how did you help it? I’ve been wiping down with warm water with cotton wool? Anything else?

Mine had his first bout at 1 week old, courtesy of my toddler 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ we ended up having to use antibiotics (drops, then ointment because drops didn't help). But if it's a mild case, wiping it clean as you do is probably going to be enough. If it persists, call your GP xx

Antibiotic drops from Dr helped

My boy had it I know it’s hard but try not let her rub her eye and then rub the other eye, it transfers really easily. I called my gp got antibiotic drops and it was gone within like two days (still finished the set days)

My little boy has had it for about 5weeks now, hes got cream from the doctors but nothing is helping

If you're breastfeeding you can try wiping them down with breastmilk, I've found that to be really effective

I took my little girl to the doctors and got eyedrops as both her eyes were stuck together after every nap and it was so uncomfortable for her! But warm water and Cotton pads are good! X

My little lady had it last month right after her big sister. Took her to the doctor's and they advised bathing with cooled boiled water and cotton wool as they try to avoid giving antibiotics if they can. Bathe for now and call doctors in the morning just to get it checked in case they think drops would be more appropriate.

It seems so rife, I don't remember hearing about it this much with my first (14 yrs ago)! 2 out of 5 of us in our little group have had it. One was baby but I think the other may have just been the mum!
