First, take a deep breath. This is not an eye infection (though it can look like one). It is not usually painful for the baby. And in 90% of cases, it resolves on its own by the time the baby turns one.
While maintaining that gentle pressure, roll or sweep your finger straight down the side of the nose toward the nostril.
Be consistent, be gentle, and be patient. One morning, you’ll wake up, and those eyes will be bright, clear, and dry. And you can stop playing eye doctor.
