It's a nice dry heat and holds heat for longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-suspected-clogged-tear-duct#post-1316685 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 08:49:23 +0000 Bookish 1316685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing that seemed to work for us was the warm compress. I'd massage the tear duct with it, and it seemed to help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-suspected-clogged-tear-duct#post-1316671 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 08:39:12 +0000 ninja 1316671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies. No more breastmilk here, but I'll keep trying the warm washcloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-suspected-clogged-tear-duct#post-1316373 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 01:07:27 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1316373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has one blocked tear duct and I feel like I have tried everything... we clean it numerous times a day, warm water or saline or eye specific wipes.. we've tried breastmilk with no luck ;-( We are off to the drs tomorrow because the discharge has turned yellow/green so I think its infected :-( Someone suggested a massage that you do that opens it up, but I don't know how to do it. Goodluck and hope it clears up for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-suspected-clogged-tear-duct#post-1316272 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 23:48:18 +0000 singingbee 1316272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One morning lo woke up with her eye gunked shut and I knew it was a clogged tear duct. I read on here to put some<br /> Breastmilk on it. I called my ped's office and they had never heard it, but I did it and it cleared up by that afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-suspected-clogged-tear-duct#post-1316234 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 23:35:57 +0000 ninja 1316234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of LO's eyes is watery and sometimes a little goopy(clear goop). Everything I've seen says a warm compress, but at 14 months old, he fights that to no end. Anyone have any different ideas or tips? </p>
