Advice on Newborn Eye Crust

joelle

At our one week appt yesterday, our pediatrician noticed our son had some eye crust and mentioned he might have a blocked tear duct. She recommended cleaning the area, as well as massaging near the nose to try and open it up. Today, it seems like the crust is much worse and our son isn’t happy (not napping, all he wants to do is cry). Does anyone have any experience with this? I’d love any and all advice! Thank you!
