My oldest daughter had it. If you look online you should be able to see some guides for how to massage the corner of the eye. You actually have to use a bit of pressure and push down on it not just massage which is scary but after I did it a couple times it completely went away.

Kaelynn has it. I was told to massage the endside corner of her eye several times a day and use a warm compress a few times. None worked so at her 4 week apt her ped gave me a cream to put in her eye for 7 days.

The cream worked but now a week later she woke up this morning with her eye glued shut again.

My baby had it. She had a green/yellow discharge coming from her eye and we were told it was a blocked duct. Her ped gave her a script for drops because hers was bad. She couldn't open her eye cause it got so crusty. He also told us to gently massage the corner of her eye with the tip of our pinkie for 15 seconds. It helped to loosen the crap up and get it out. Use a warm
cotton ball (or rag) and just keep cleaning it with water as well.

Desirae has that. I asked the ped and he said it should fix itself. He also said to just wipe it with a warm wash cloth. That's all he told me.
