My newborn has weepy eye

My newborn age 2 weeks has a weepy eye. Is it a blocked tear duct? No swelling no redness. Just discharge built up in the eye.

Happened to both my babies in the newborn stage. If you are breastfeeding, breast milk helps and if not, just cooled down boiled water with cotton bud helped to :)

The cooled boiled water helps a lot. The discharge has become smallet then before. Thanks

More than likely. My son had the same at about this age. I used cool down boiled water and cleaned the eye but it didn’t clear it. I ended up taking him to the doctors and they prescribed me an eye ointment at it cleared it up straight away.

It can also be thrush that may have been transmitted through childbirth. I had that with my second. Hope this helps and you manage to get them sorted :) x

Mine had it too, I used cooled down boiled water and a cotton pad to gently wipe it clean. And gave her tear duct massages when she was breastfeeding. Cleared up in a week! X

Baby's legs crossed

My newborn always has her legs in a cross, I couldn't stretch then out to put her in a carrier. I just googled it and apparently it could be cerebral palsy. Has anyone's baby had a similar cross leg?? Is it just the newborn scrunch?

6 months pregnant

I can’t believe I’ve gone 6 months without a deli sandwich with my first son I ate Jersey mikes all the time and never got sick but now that I’m pregnant with another boy I’m like craving it so bad that I gave in and having one for dinner tonight. I know you can heat up the deli meat but I’m craving a cold sub so I’m like fuck it women have sandwiches every day not in moderation and they are fine I’m sure I’m fine and Jersey mikes cuts it fresh for you.

Severe lower back pain - more explained.

Hi everyone!

I'm 35 weeks pregnant on sunday with my rainbow baby girl, I have suddenly been getting severe and I mean SEVERE lower back pain in waves and like a stretchy/burning sensation in both of my hips for a few hours now. I can barely walk to and from my bed to the bathroom.

My stomach isn't tightening with the pains but still getting braxton hicks seperately.

I did also have some very bad right knee pain with the back pain but that seems to of disappeared a little bit now.

What would your advise be? as I've never experienced this before.

Thank you.

Rolling

Has anyone’s baby started rolling yet? My boy is 15 weeks and he can now roll both ways and he is just absolutely wild trying to slide about the floor 😅

I have an older girl who didn’t do this for at least another couple of months yet so I thought I had more time haha!
