baby has weepy eye
For about a week and a half, my LO has had a crusty eye which has needed cleaning morning and night. I took him to the Docs last week and they said just keep cleaning it. The eye is not red or inflamed, but at times it looks like my LO is cryin as a tear is running down the side of his face. Not sure what I should do!!
Anyone else experienced this with thei LOs? If so how long did it last for???

my little boy is 8 weeks and has still got a weepy eye and my first baby had weepy eyes til he was a year old.hope this helps.xxxx
my baby had weepy eye. i was cleaning them with cooled boiled water 5-6 times a day but his eyes were still getting stuck together with it.
the doc visited me at home to check on the baby as i had a home birth and perscribed him with some eye drops.
once i started giving him the eye drops within a couple of days it cleared up. his eyes werent red or inflamed just weepy and sticky.

My LO had a weepy left eye a couple days ago. His actual eye wasn't red but the surrounding area was and it had yellow crusties. After much reading, I decided to try bottled water cotton ball wipes. After a day it was still crusting so I tried breastmilk. I hand expressed some into a glass and then dunked my finger in it and then let the drips fall into his eye. Today-all clear! It can be concerning when our LO have problems and only you'll know if it's concerning enough to see a doc. In my town docs are hard to get into so I try home remedies first. Then if in 7- 10 days it's not clear, then I go. good luck.
