Baby keep rubbing his eyes & unable to sleep

[sufeit0115]

Hi all mummies,

My baby is 3 months old. I noticed the part below his eyes had some redness & swelling and he's keep rubbing his eyes. I thought maybe is due to dirty, i have tried to clean his face & eyes with cool boiled water many times and changed all his bedsheet & clothes, however the itch & swelling did not go away. So baby was unable to sleep last night and he becomes very cranky. I am thinking to bring baby to see PD later.

But would like to know any advice or remedy that will help to reduce the itch from experienced mummies here. Any one has encountered same problem before? Please advise.

Are you bf? If yes, drip some bm into bb's eye, can help to reduce the irritation and speed up healing.

Are you bf? If yes, drip some breast milk into baby's eye, can help to reduce the irritation and speed up healing.

hey since you mentioned swelling, it's best you take baby to see the paed. it could be some blockage somewhere.

do continue with the cleaning using cool boiled water.

and better don't try the BM method, it's not clinically proven.

Hi i have tried the breastmilk mtd, the swell & redness seemed to subside a bit...will continue to monitor, if tonight still not fully recover, will go to PD.

Thanks for all the mummies' suggestion and advices!

Kaeden has sensitive skin since born (inherited from me!)...PD said should be due to the recent haze and the redness & itch will come and go. He said now the haze is not very serious, already have mild rashes, be prepared for worse during the mid year haze peak season!!

My poor baby, just wish i could take all his suffering....:wecry:
