Any tips for baby pinkeye?

R just finished drops for it - her eye was fine in the morning and filled with green goop by daycare pickup that same day. We did a warm washcloth at night before bed and another in the morning and our ped had us treat both eyes since she's so little and her hands are everywhere.

ETA: she never woke overnight with stuck eyes, just crusted by morning. We used hand sanitizer every time we touched her and changed all crib linens daily. By some magic none of the rest of us got it!

The nurse recommended saline drops when DD had it. She didn't wake up at night, but hers wasn't as bad as you described.

Poor babe We saw major improvement by the next morning - FX for you!

I used a diaper wipe on her hands if I actively saw her get goop on them and did try to stick to toys that were easily washable because for sure Q was going to be touching stuff. Since she's not mobile I was able to mainly contain it to 3 things that I wiped with a Lysol wipe and washed with soap and water each night.

Does she use a wubbanub? If so, I'd throw that in the wash too if you have spares.

Wash your hands constantly!!! I would go ahead and get drop from the pedi. they made a huge difference.
