During the first few weeks or months you may notice a yellow, sticky discharge from one or both eyes. This is usually caused by a blocked tear duct . Most newborns’ eyes begin tearing by three weeks of age. These tears should drain into the nose through tiny tear ducts at the inside corners of the eye. A thin membrane that usually breaks open shortly after birth, allowing proper drainage of tears, sometimes covers the nasal end of these ducts. Often this membrane does not fully open, causing the tear ducts to remain plugged and tears to accumulate in one or both eyes. Fluid that does not drain properly becomes infected. If this happens, the discharge from your baby’s eyes will be persistently yellow, suggesting infection in the region of the blocked tear ducts.
Here’s how to unclog your baby’s tear duct. Gently massage the tear duct that is located beneath the tiny “bump” in the nasal corner of each eye. Massage in an upward direction (toward the nose) about six times. Do this tear- duct massage as often as you think of it – for example, before each diaper change. Massaging the tear duct applies pressure on the fluid backed up within the ducts and eventually pops open the membrane and clears the ducts.
