When he was really little people used to comment all the time in surprise at his "real tears". DH and I would be confused and like , "yup...every time..." I still don't really know what that means, other babies don't cry with tears? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-newborn-have-real-tears#post-2089549 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 13:26:51 +0000 autumnlove 2089549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A month for LO 1 and almost right away for LO 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-newborn-have-real-tears#post-2089547 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 13:25:31 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2089547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had watery eyes at around 3-4 weeks but it's just in the last week or two that I've noticed actual tears.
