Eye discharge in newborns is common and rarely a cause for concern. A common cause of eye discharge is a blocked tear duct. Doctors sometimes refer to this condition as dacryostenosis or nasolacrimal duct obstruction. If the eye discharge is due to a blocked tear duct, it will usually resolve without treatment within 4 to 6 months. To massage the tear duct: Lightly press the tip of the index finger against the inside bridge of the newborn's nose, on the side of the blocked tear duct. Make 2 or 3 short downward strokes with the finger along the side of the nose. These should be gentle but firm. Perform the massage twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. If the side of the newborn's nose becomes red or swollen, stop the massage immediately and contact a doctor.
