How old is he? @holliesinead You can get drops over the counter but I'm not sure the age limit. I've given them to Morgan but he was 2.

But cooled boiled water & cotton wool may help if not. May take a day or two. Wipe from in to out, then throw away & use new cotton wool each wipe.

Ahh yeh even the docs wouldn't prescribe drops then. Hopefully it'll clear a bit more by tomorrow. Conjunctivitis isn't nice poor thing.

I know this is crazy but breast milk if you are still or have milk put some on a bit of cotton wool and wipe almost down and away from eye so it gets any crap, it's got loads of good stuff in the milk and I did to Harper 3 times a day and her eye was sorted :) @holliesinead midwife told me this and it worked lol!
