What did you do to treat it? How long did it last?
Pedi says massage it and put a drop of breastmilk in it (really!). DD's only had it for the past couple of days but I'm worried about it getting worse and want it to go away
my dd had the same thing...i massaged it and also put breastmilk in it 3 times in one day and the next morning she woke up and it was completely gone...BM can work wonders
My LO had two different kinds of drops and it cleared it up then it would come right back. K was put on an antibiotic for an ear infection and it also cleared up her eye. No signs of it coming back yet {fingers crossed}

we have had this on and off since birth. Tried BM while I was pumping but it didn't work. So far a warm washcloth to sort of steam it and then gentle massage works for a bit but it keeps coming back. I'm not sure what to do about it. Pedi said not to worry about it though.
I like to joke that he gets more facials than I do!
DS had this in one eye & the pedi just told use to keep it cleaned out with a warm wash cloth & massage the corner of his eye at his nose. I would massage it every time we sit down to nurse and kept it cleaned out with a warm cloth as needed. Problem was solved within 2 days and he hasn't had any problems with it since.
I massaged my LO tear duct with a little breast milk every other time I nursed and the clogged tear duct cleared in a few days. With my first LO he had it bad in both eyes. I did the same thing and it took til he was about 8 months old to clear up. Sometimes they have to grow out of it
