Clogged tear duct

edited September 2014 in September 2012 Moms
Does anyone have experience with this? I think Maya might have one. Her eye is slightly purple underneath and there is a barely noticeable bump. She says it hurts but it's not super sensitive.

Is this what it looks like?

    ^wss, I think plugged ducts are a baby issue that gets out grown.

    It's not on her eyelid, it's underneath her eye. Maybe I'll wait and see how it looks over the next few days.

    DD had one as a newborn & I put breastmilk in it, but I don't think that's an option for you ;)

    You can try warm compress & massaging downward with your pinky, along the side of her nose.

    If that doesn't help, it might be some other issue.

    That doesn't sound like DD's clogged duct but there could just be different side effects for different kids. We kept it clean and also put lavendar essential oil under her eye and it worked for her.
