What could this be? (Kinda gross pip inside)

[bananapancakes]

L woke up with his eye like this. The white of the eye is fine but the lid is all pink. The eye is weeping and it was yellow and crusty this morning and when he woke up from a nap. No fever and acting normally.

Call the doctor. Hannah's eye was like that due to her clogged tear duct and they put us on an antibiotic. It might be nothing, but posters here and my doctor said eyes are nothing to mess with.

Hmmm, he had a clogged tear duct from about birth-8 weeks or so but it was the other eye and the gross stuff was coming from the inside corner near the duct. This time it's the other eye and the stuff is coming from the outside corner, not near the duct.

I agree about calling the pedi, it does sound like it could be a blocked tear duct & possible infection. M was always put on drops when there was yellow drainage.

If he doesn't already have a cold or something that would be causing it, then maybe a blocked tear duct or pink eye. I would call the doctor in case it needs antibiotics.

Call the dr asap and try putting some expressed breast milk on it in the meanwhile.
