My son has a big problem with eye boogers. The doctor gave me a cream to help with it, but he was…

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

@loveless, thanks I will definitely give that a try!

Putting some Breastmilk in the eyes &Rub; the tear ducts gently.

breast milk is the beast my son had this I used the cream twice but my bread milk worked better and it's natural
