My daughter is 7 months now .she had same problem. I asked to doctor then he told it's a tear duct problem. Some children's duct does not develop before birth n it develops after birth. And usually it takes maximum 18 months. My daughter took 5 months. till then I cleaned eye with stariles water and keep massage clockwise between eye n nose. so need not to worry it will take time but it will be all right

My baby had the same problem... Use breast milk to clean her eyes... Within two days the baby's eye will be alright.

Hello, my baby has also same problem when she was 20 days old. My doc adviced sac massage only. Press the point between nose and eyes and continue pressing downward to nose. It takes time but will benefit. My baby took 6 months.

There is nothing harm in giving top feed. but don't stop breastfeed completely.. Also don't overfeed the baby it will cause digestion proplem
