If your baby's eye is pink then it could be an infection, so go to the docs for some drops if you can... Seth has cream at about 7 weeks and cleared up really quickly.
Seth still has nasty blocked tear ducts in both eyes although I think in most babies they do usually sort themselves out by 6 months or so Ive been told. The eye itself stays the normal colour, just the discharge and red eyelids he gets with that.
Cooled boiled water works best, breastmilk just made Seths worse, not sure why. But definately worth a try if you havent already.
Also if your LO has a runny nose make sure they aren't rubbing it in their eyes as this can cause conjunctivitis. Easier said than done I know, Im having the same battle with Seth at the moment.
