Breast milk unclogs clogged tear ducts and actually fixes minor infections with out anti biotics. Try cleaning it with wash cloth, try the drop of breast milk and if it doesn't work take him in to see his dr

My daughter had the same problem when she was born. Because her skull was still soft and seperated, there was a lot of fluid pushing behind her eyes and forehead. Should eventually go away with no problems. My daughter had to wear a special helmet for 3 months to help shape her head because her skull did not close properly. Rarely happens though and is not a big deal.

I'd use a warm wash cloth over his eye. If that doesn't help then probably should call his peditrician. From my understanding it's pretty normal for infants.

Yep my moms said the same same about the breast milk in the eye!!

Call the on call doctor. But also you should try the drop of breast milk. It is true breast milk can help with so many things other than food.

I would call the on-call pediatrician. Some babies need a special eye drop or cream to keep their tear ducts from getting gunky and caked over.
