DS is a week and half old. He has had a yucky eye since he was born. I have been cleaning it with purified water and putting a little breast milk in (though not every day). Its still yellowy green pusy and crusty I know this is fairly comon in newborns, but hoping it should have cleared up by now.
MHC nurse said that if it was still a problem after a while, tell my GP at the 6 wk check up - but thats ages away. I dont want him to suffer that long or introduce people to my new goopy faced baby!
what should I do? keep up with cleaning or take him to GP? Is there something else I can do to help it clear?
Ive been told its a blocked tear duct but could be conguntivitus by the nurse.
Not sure how long it should take to clear or if it might need extra help??
