DD's eyes are crusty when she wakes up and have been a little goopy like she has tears in her eyes. I looked online to are what info I could find and I keep seeing to put breast milk in her eyes. Anyone have any advice?

    I'd ask your pedi.  Until then ... maybe a warm wash cloth?

    Put s drop of BM in her eyes. It's weird but it works. BM could solve anything.

    Her tears may be starting to come in.

    DS has had a blocked tear duct in one eye since birth and it gets crusty/goopy every so often. My Ped said to put a warm cloth on it to clean it, and to massage the corner of his eye gently. It really helps. I have also put a little BM in it.

    Sounds like a clogged tear duct.  Clean her eyes with a warm clean washcloth throughout the day.  Massage right under her tear ducts gently.  And yes, breastmilk in the eye works wonders.  My DD had this same problem.

    Our pedi said to massage the sides of her nose and to put a little bit of No Tears shampoo on a wash cloth to prevent infection when cleaning her eyes.  The clogged tear duct cleared up quickly after that.

    It's normal. DS has this problem in his left eye. Pedi said it's likely a clogged tear duct that hasn't opened up yet. You can use a warm wash cloth to wipe it away and yet our pedi also said we can use a few drops of BMs to help it along.

    I just seen it on the Doctors!

    They said to take 10 parts water, to 1 part baby shampoo/soap mix it, use a cotton ball and wipe it across your baby's eye. It not only loosens up the crust but it cleans the eye ducts too.
