DD (nearly 1) has had a little eye goop for about 4 days now - it started out just in one eye, and now it's in the other eye too. The first night she woke up with enough gunk to glue the eye a little bit, but since then it hasn't been that bad, but I need to wipe little bits of goop every so often. She doesn't have a cold. No redness in the eyes.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Did you need to use eye drops? Our pediatrician said to keep an eye on it and come in if it gets worse, and I'm really reluctant to go in if I don't need to and expose her to flu germs!
