eye watering
DS's right eye waters way more than the left eye and he always has gunk in it! There's never gunk in the left eye. It doesn't look like an infection. Just wondering if any of your LO's have this too? Maybe an overactive tear duct? I already sent an e-mail to the pedi, just wanted to get your thoughts too! Thanks

Re: eye watering
Sounds like a clogged tear duct. They usually clear on their own, but sometimes need surgery. My DS had this and it cleared just before he turned 1. I thought my DD had this, but turned out she had an infection. One morning she woke up with her eye swollen shut. It cleared with oral antibiotics. Hopefully your LO's eye will clear up!
DD had that too and still does every once in a while. I asked my SIL and she said breastmilk. It has natural antibiotics and all the natural stuff. Actually worked! I tried to do it every pumping session so it was fresh, but 2x a day worked well for us since I am very forgetful. This kept coming back though with gunk in it and the milk wasn't enough so I called the Pedi and he sent us drops that have cleared up the bulk of it, every once in a while she still gets gunky and watery, but we just clean with warm washcloth to make her comfortable and it clears up for some days.
