blocked tear duct?

Question

Month and a half old baby has a blocked tear duct. Any recommendations on what to do. It just weeps and gets crusty..

Answer

We massaged and I squirted breast milk instead of using drops. Crusting cleared after week of this; it still waters sometimes but that’s because the ducts are still maturing. Dr said totally normal and to keep doing what I’m doing.

Answer

Massage the sides of the nose to help with the blockage and speak to your doctor or pharmacist about eye drops

Answer

My sons was crusted shut for 7 weeks!!! Finally just cleared up all by itself one day. We would massage it everyday and constantly clean it off with a warm rag

Answer

if your nursing put a drop in each eye 2x a day until it clears up!!
