Eye goop?

I just had my son 3 days ago and I've noticed some yellowish watery discharge coming from his eye. I've read that it's pretty normal and I've been wiping it with a warm wash cloth but it still scares me. He has a doctors appointment tomorrow I was just wondering if I'm overreacting.

Ditto the breast milk! Totally works! Some babies get conjunctivitis ALL the time! The doc might prescribe eye drops but sometimes it does clear up on its own! Good luck:)

Putting breast milk in the eye is  great solution.  My son's conjunctivitis cleared up within 24 hours of dropping milk into it.
