Help - Poorly Eye

[Babylicious]

Harrison has had a sticky eye from birth and has had green goo coming out of it. We've been to the doctors 3 times now and each time they have said something different, so far it's been an infection, then an allergy then just sticky eye. I don't know what to do as it's worse that ever (more goo) does look sore. I'm constantly wiping it and he's getting really fed up now.

Anything else I could try? (i've done massage tear duct and nothing came out)

Are you breastfeeding? When Sprog had a gooey eye the HV told me to squirt breastmilk into it!

I know for conjunctivitis there's an old wives tale about rubbing the eye with a gold ring. Not sure if it works though.

No I'm not breastfeeding

Are you doing the massage regularly? We started to do it (as Becky was the same from birth) more regularly and after a week or so... it just vanished. Have they actually done a swab of his eye to see if it is infected? The swab was the first thing they did when I mentioned I was worried about her eye. It came back negative.
