gunky eyes in a 4mth old

[Hansie]

My DS1 had constant gunk in his eyes when he was born. The slightest sniffle would make it much worse. It took till he was 2-2.5 for it to not come through his eyes. His tubes were just very narrow & the mucus was unable to drain. We did end up having to use cholosig (sp) as he was at day-care & he had to be treated as though he had conjunctivitis. At about 16 mths we saw an eye specialist & she confirmed his nasal tubes & tear ducts were just too narrow still & give them time to widen as he grew

DS had gunky eyes like that and it took a little while to comopletely clear. I just used BM.
