Oh no! We woke up this morning and poor little E's eye was all crusted shut 
we've been patting away puss all morning until our appointment at urgent care in a few hours. What can I expect?

I"ve heard breastmilk (squirted in the corner of the eye) can help clear it up! Good luck

Oh no. poor thing! I hope everything turns out ok! I heard about the breastmilk thing too! Maybe try that while waiting for urgent care?

They'll give you antibiotic drops and by tomorrow it will look much better. My dr actually just tells me via text which type. Maybe your doctor will call in a prescription for you?

@sloaneandpuffy: oh I'm glad. Right now it looks like someone punched her in the eye! And I'm so scared she's going to give it to me!

Good luck with it clearing up. M had pink eye and within a day of doing the drops, it was looking better. Just wash your hands a lot and try not to touch her eye. If you touch her face or eyes or nose, just wash wash wash (or use hand sanitizer!) We were so scared we would get it, too when she had it.

@mediagirl: thanks!

I second the suggestion of using breastmilk.

My LO had conjunctivitis due to an ear infection. Make sure they check her ears. He had no other symptoms except for the crusted eye. The dr gave us drops for his eyes and it cleared up within a day.

I'm so curious as to whether the breast milk would work!
We passed this around a lot when we were kids in our family b/c it's so contagious. Lots of hand washing. But how do you keep a little kid from touching it? I'm imagining an eye patch....

@sweetkate: doc checked ears - all clear!We got some drops - here's to it helping!
