My son has a big problem with eye boogers. The doctor gave me a cream to help with it, but he was supposed to be done with it by now. His eyes still are bad to the point it seals them shut. Does anyone have any ideas how I can treat this at home? I feel horrible when he can't open his eyes!

This happened to my 3 year old when she was a newborn and it still happens occasionally especially when she is sick! I don't like using the creams unless it gets really bad but every time they wake up/start getting crusty or anything take a warm washcloth and set it on their eyelids and then slowly wipe away everything, it helps a lot even though you'll probably have to do it often

@d_maclaughlin, it happens to my son constantly and I have no idea what to do about it because then he wakes up hungry and mad because he can't see

Yes, that's what I dealt with and still do!! The doctor said it was something to do with her tear ducts so maybe mention that to his pediatrician? Like I said other than winter time the only time it really happens is when she is sick, her eyes get like extra watery/boogers/crusty/etc!

if you breastfeed put some of your milk in his eye periodically, brew up chamomile tea let it sit a while- don't want it to be hot just warm, dip a cotton ball in the tes and use as a warm compress on the eye gently wiping away the crust/goo
