My DD's a week old, and she had some serious eye discharge on Sunday, all day. It looked to me like blocked tear ducts (My nephew's had them, so I know what they look like) but her ped is insistent that she's too young to have tears yet and he wants me to stick antibiotic ointment in her eyes a few times a day to "clear it up".
The whites of her eyes are white, not pink; and her eyes don't seem to be irritating her at all. Also, I've been massaging the tear ducts during nursing and the amount of **** has decreased SIGNIFIGANTLY.
So, moving right along; anyone else have a baby this young with blocked tear ducts? Or with what you thought were blocked tear ducts? What'd you do? Or did it clear up on its own?
(Oh, just thought, should also mention she did NOT have the eye **** at birth
