Calling moms whose LO's have a clogged tear duct

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 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! Embarrassed

    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.

    DD's lasted maybe 2 weeks, but it did get worse before it got better. We used warm compresses and I massaged it three times a day.

    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
