Thanks for all your replies, I like hearing about how you have dealt with the same problem and giving me ideas too.

She was just put on a course of antibiotics 2 weeks ago for her eye but it didn't clear it up. They have been sticky with a yellowish discharge since she was born, its only crusty when she wakes up, like excesss 'sleep'. I will take her back to the doc's on Monday incase it is still infected, hope not though. 15 weeks is a bit young for a second dose of antibiotics.
