Tear ducts

Max's tear ducts are kicking into high gear. He wakes up and can't even open his eyes they are so crusted shut. Anything I can do? I've been wiping them with a warm wash cloth, but they just keep producing gunky yellow tears now. DD's were overactive and she eventually had to have surgery at 15 months to fix them.

    All of my kids have had clogged ducts.  Massage it with your pinky and you can even try putting breast milk on it.  We clean it with warm compresses and a clean/wet cotton ball.  But with both boys, we needed prescription eye gel b/c they could no longer open their eyes.  It was so sad.  Most pedi's only use the meds as a last resort though, if nothing else works.

    Poor Max!

    No personal experience, but I've heard the breast milk thing as well.  Hope that does the trick!

    Put breast milk in eyes as often as you think of it. I know a mom who's dr. Said surgery was necessary but she persisted and it cleared up with breast milk!

    I forgot that breastmilk fixes nearly everything. I'll start doing that. Thanks for the advice!
