Weeping eyes

This morning my 3 week old daughter woke up with both eyes weeping. It's clear fluid (like tears), no gunk. Around her eyes is all red and puffy (the eye whites themselves are white not blood shot), I would explain it as though she looks like she's really tired, but she's not.

Of course my first though was conjunctivitis however there's no gunk at all. Just this continuous stream of water running from them both.    Any ideas?

Not sure what it is but if you are breastfeeding, I recommend that you squirt some into her eyes as it has great healing properties. Even if it doesn't clear them up it won't hurt!

If it is blocked tear ducts there isn't allot that can be done this young.  My DS had this in both eyes and has only just this month got rid of it.  It is really annoying, but doesn't seem to affect them too much.

Breastmilk and saline seem to be only things that can clean it up - but nothing cleared DS up completely except time.

Yeah, to be honest the milk thing and saline won't do anything really. It is just a matter of time. And as someone above said there is nothing that they can do when they are little to fix it.

jett had this too i mentioned it to the doc 1 day and she perscribed some drops incase it happened again, i did happen again and the drops cleared it up a treat.

Well, her eyes have still been the same but then this morning she's woken up all blocked up. So it must just be the first physical sign of a cold for her. Thanks for all your advice and comments

Thomas has had a grotty eye since he was born and nothing seems to be clearing it up. Its only really bad when he cries. MW did a swab and it came back with no infection, so we dont know.. BM isnt an option cuz he's on the bottle, anyone know what I can do for this?
