Cleaning baby’s eye

[NicoleNoPants]

DD has a slight cold, been to GP who has reassured me it’s nothing to worry about, but one of her eyes is very gunky a lot of the time. I’ve cleaned it with saline water and a cotton wool ball but is there anything more effective to use and how often should I be cleaning it?

If you’re bf, then use your milk, or chamomile tea on cotton wool pad to clean the eye.

Are you breastfeeding? You can always squirt a bit directly in their eye and it may help

She’s FF- I’ve got some tea downstairs

Full fat cows milk with boiled water in and leave to cool - always cleared my DDs eyes up when she was a bit gunky!
