soo olive`s had a clogged tear duct since she was born and it`s really been yucky this past week. i mean, she`ll take a nap and she can`t open her eye when she wakes up. i have to clean it with a hot compress. plus, from wiping it 3 or more times a day, it`s all raw and red on the outer corner. poor babe!
so i call our midwife last night to see if she had any suggestions. i was afraid she`d have to get antibiotics! but denise told me to just squirt breast milk in her eye! i never would have thought of it!
i looked it up and apparently breast milk is good for sore cracked nipples because it keeps it clean and moisturized, and it`s good for eye infections like pink eye or clogged ducts because it has antimicrobial stuffs and also it doesn`t allow germies to stick to the surface of the eye.
it`s totally working too. the first time i did it, a TON of eye goobers came out, so i blotted them off and did it again.
its too funny though. whenever i do it, she`s like. "good, you`re going to feed me... that`s not my mouth, lady. it`s down here. HEY! i wanted to eat that!" its toooooo funny!
in other baby news, i officially am sending all of olive`s 0-3 month things to my older sister for her little one. olive`s graduated to 3-6 months! its about 2 weeks after she should have, i`d say! she`s growing like a bean sprout!
i hope everyone`s having a good day! hopefully soon i`ll get around to posting our birth story!
