To help baby keep clean and healthy eyes, I gives you a little tip to clean them simply and painlessly.
Take a sterile compress or a wipe cotton ball and soak it in physiological serum. If you don't have it on hand, substitute it with boiled and then cooled water.
You use one pad per eye , because if your little one has an infection, we avoid contaminating both eyes.
You pass the compressgently , starting from the cleanest area of the eye towards the dirtiest area:that is to say from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner.
As for the navel, you have to do this little cleaning once a day to keep baby's eyes clean. I advise you to do it in the morning , because the eyelashes tend to stick together during the night, so you have to clean the small crusts that lodge around the eyes.
If you want to save money, you can prefer cotton wipes at €3 to sterile compresses, which will cost you€2 more. As for saline, you can find it for less than 2 € on the market.
Even if it requires a small investment, this treatment is important for your little one's eyes, which are still very fragile at the moment. Tell yourself that it's for his well-being and above all, think about the doctor's visits that are shortened because you take good care of him.
For your baby's eyes, do you do the same thing or do you have another method? Come talk about it with us and with other moms in the comments!
