Baby's eye discharge is yellow and sticky

Newborn babies are relatively fragile in all aspects of their bodies, and any problems will make parents worried. When many parents are looking after their babies, they will find that there is a lot of eye mucus in one eye of the baby, but no eye mucus in the other eye. Moreover, the eye mucus is yellow and sticky, and no matter how you wipe it, it won’t be cleaned away. So what exactly causes the yellow and sticky eye mucus in a baby’s eye?

1. Congenital lacrimal duct hypoplasia: This condition is very common and occurs in many newborn babies. This is mainly because their growth and development are not yet complete, so the functions of their organs have not yet started to function, resulting in watery eyes and increased eye mucus. This is actually what doctors call neonatal dacryocystitis. However, this condition will improve over time as the baby grows up, but it will gradually improve and disappear after the baby is two months old. If the baby is still in this condition after two months, especially if the baby has tears when he is not crying, and one eye is tearing while the other is normal, then everyone needs to pay attention to it. It is best to take the baby to the hospital for examination to avoid more serious problems!

2. If the baby has a lot of eye mucus in one eye, it may be caused by getting too hot, it may be caused by diet, or it may be because the baby covers his eye too much. Because the baby's body systems and organs are not fully developed, the baby is particularly sensitive to climate changes. The weather is dry in autumn and babies are prone to getting angry. Therefore, mothers should adjust their babies’ autumn diet in time. Mothers should pay attention to not eating too greasy or spicy food, and eat more light food, and the baby's symptoms will be relieved.

3. At the same time, pay attention to the circulation of indoor air and a certain humidity, and pay attention to increasing the baby's water intake. At the same time, if the baby is breastfeeding, it is recommended that the mother eat spicy and irritating food. If necessary, you can consult a doctor for appropriate treatment methods, and you can also observe whether your baby has ingrown eyelashes.
