You can do that. But find breast milk works very well for eye infections. Put a drop in babies eyes with a dropper. Works expecially well if it's Pink eye.

Well, he may still have to miss school; until his eye is clear he shouldn't be around other kids. And by clear, I'd want it clear for at least a day.

But yes, breastmilk works great for pink eye.

I'd call DCP as well; some have rules about that. I know I wouldn't want a kiddo with pink eye there, it's just so amazingly contagious. Thankfully, it clears up easily, but it's a PITA.

Ahhhh. Yucko! But, that's not contagious, at any rate. :D Spring is DH's hardest time for allergies, too. He's waking up daily with nasty goopy eyes and then says, 'hey honey, look at this!'

ewwwwwwww no thanks, bud. LOL

I know from experience that the breastmilk helps with pink eye. It helps it get better faster, and also helps with the buring and itching.

..Why Is the Eye Pink in Pink Eye?

Pink eye results from inflammation of the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye (sclera) and interior lining of the eyelids.

Although the
conjunctiva is transparent, it contains most of the blood vessels on the eye's surface. So anything that triggers eye inflammation will cause these conjunctival blood vessels to dilate. This contributes to the eye's pink or reddish appearance, particularly evident against the backdrop of the white sclera.

To avoid allergic conjunctivitis, try these tips:

*Dust and vacuum frequently to eliminate allergens in the home.


*Keep windows and doors closed on days when the airborne pollen count is high.

*Stay in well ventilated areas if you're exposed to smoke, chemicals or fumes.
