Jasmine had that from the time she was born. I asked her doctor and she said it was a blocked tear duct. She showed me how to massage it (bear with me while I try to describe it)... You start on the side of their nose and you follow underneath their eye (I guess around the same spot some people would have those dark purple circles).. you just do it over and over. Jasmines doc said to do it hard enough that it makes their skin just a little bit red. Give it a try... it fixed Jasmine up in a couple of days. ↑

prob a cold in her eye or pink eye. Either way it usually goes away by it's self. If the puss get too bad or turns yellow or green then take her to the dr you may need to get some anitbotic ointment for it. Aside form tht jsut use warm and cool wash cloths to keep her gunk free and reduce swelling :) ↑

I just saw you were breastfeeding. I swear this sounds weird but it works EVERYTIME. Squirt a little breastmilk in her eye it is the best thing for a clogged milk duct all the way to pink eye. Most moms notice it clearing up within 24 hrs. I swear it works! ↑
