<barb reaches for 'what to expect - the first year ...>

... It is not until the end of the first month of life that the fluid that bathes the eye (tears) begins to be produced in the lacrimal glands over the eyeballs. The fluid normally drains through tiny ducts located at the inner corner of each eye and into the nose which is why a lot of crying can make your nose run ...

something like that ? something on duct blockage ?
