DD has a gunky eye... her left eye came out in this kind of light green gunk this afternoon. I squirted a few drops of BM into it and got a soft tissue (we didn't have cotton balls at the time) to wipe away the gunk that came out.

Since then it has become a lot more gunky so I searched BB and saw suggestions about BM, cooled boiled water, teas etc.

We just wiped her eyes with the cooled boiled water on cotton balls (DP went and got some) and used a new one with each wipe. Then I expressed some BM onto a new cotton ball and wiped it over her eye as she is asleep and I don't want to open her eye to squirt it in there.

Is what I am doing right? Is that how I 'apply' the BM and the cooled boiled water.

I have rung my friend as we were visiting her and her 4yo DS today to let them know in case they get it and I am about to ring my family as we were over there this afternoon... anyone else I should contact? ie how far back could DD have had this?

Thanks in advance ladies
