I squirt over the top of her eye then let it run in, then wipe it off with a tissue once it's gotten into the eye.... a bit messy, but as with the others, I think she's used to it now!
I try to do it at every feed.

Thanks ladies!
What do I do overnight? She isn't always waking through the night and you can bet that because I want her to wake tonight (so I can squirt her eye) she will sleep through... should I set an alarm and do a wipe over?
Registered User
I wouldn't, if it's not too bad... I don't usually do DD's through the night even when she wakes, I leave it until the morning.
If it looks really gunky right now you could just wipe it over but if it's not too bad I'd leave it

naaah, I wouldn't. Nate's get pretty bad, but doesn't seem to bother him overnight.

I am thinking maybe it is not conjunctivitis... DD has no gunk this morning - she had a gunky crusty bit where 'sleep' would normally be and her eyelashes had some gunk crust in it but no more gunk since she woke...
I have squirted it when we woke and again since then.
Would it go away this quickly? Could it just have been something in her eye?
It was a pink yesterday and swollen... today it is only slightly pink and still a tad swollen and my last question (well for this post anyway LOL) is do I have to take her to a doctor? or will BM be enough to clean it with?

she might have a bit of a blocked duct. This is what Nate has and it's especially bad when his nose is snotty.
