It's a blocked tear duct. 2/3 of mine have had it. My oldest took a LONG time to goaway but my youngest cleared up at about 3 weeks. Massage the sinuses between the eye and the nose. Wipe with a warm wet rag. It will clear on its own. No need for any sort of medical interventions
Watery sticky eyes
I read that 1 in 5 newborns tear ducts aren't fully developed and that causes them to have watery sticky eyes. I believe my son is dealing with this, and I was just curious if anyone else suspects the same with your LO? I'm going to ask the pediatrician just to rule out a possible allergy. The whites of his eyes are still white and not red which doesn't make me think it's an allergy,
