Sticky eye in newborn?
My daughter is 8 days old and she's had a 'sticky eye' for a few days now. I'm taking her to the doc in the morning for a routine newborn check up, but was wondering what the Mums/Dads out there have used to treat a sticky eye in a baby. I have tried putting some drops of breastmilk, as well as saline solution, but it's still pretty gunky.

Breast milk will help- as your infant is barely 4 days old then it extremely is totally achievable available exhibit some milk for this. till the eyes are purple or puffy then cooled, boiled water is optimal. You infant has blocked tear ducts, and no antibiotic will help as they are actually not contaminated. this might final some months. be certain your midwife seems at them on your postanatal flow to and consents that there's no longer a situation. If in any respect achievable then breastfeed your infant, will help ward off infections on your infant that formula won't be able to. A lactation representative or your community midwife can help set up breastfeeding. Even each and every week's worth of milk supplies well-being reward for months on your infant
