DD2 (4 weeks old) has a bit of a sticky eye (just occasionally the last 2-3 days)
I'm sure I read somewhere that breastmilk was supposed to be good at clearing this up! Am I imagining it? Is it just an old wives tale? If it is true & works, how on earth do you do it? Presumably i don't just try to squirt it in? (I'm not sure my aim is that good!), should I put some (how much?) on some cotton wool & just wipe it? How often? Help!'
