My three week old had the same his pediatrician said its bc their sinus passages aren't open all the way yet all I did was wipe it away with a wipe and it went away on its own after a few days
its common for new borns to get this and the best thing is breast milk, but you do have to do it often so it will clear up, also when wiping make sure you wipe from in inside of the eye towards the out in one wipe, then get a new cotton ball etc if you have to do it again :)
The thing I read said to just squirt a few drops in their eyes and it can heal pink eye and all kind of eye infections.
I've never heard of that but makes me want to freeze extra in case that happens...
Okay thanks for replying:)helped me alot imma try it.
Sounds gross, but I've heard if you put breast milk in their eye that it clears up almost instantly
And wipe the cotton wool once n bin it or it will spread x
Cooled boiled water on cotton wool and wipe very gently.
