So tell me -- how do you get the milk INTO the baby's eye?

I hand-expressed into a 15ml medicine cup and then dropped it into the eye.
My own eye, so any other method was physically impossible :-). It was
cleared up overnight.

You borrow the monk, who has started pulling off when the flow is strong,
which then leaves the boob shooting 2-3 feet out into the air, which you can
then aim into whatever baby's eye you want. I generally prefer my husbands
hair. I figure he did this to me, so he should suffer a little.

LOL I sprayed Micah in the face a few times the other morning; he
thought it was hysterical. I'm quite fond of my own personal squirt
guns. ;)

Problem is that the baby keeps moving!

what I have done it soak cotton wool in breastmilk (squirt it on rather than
use a container, makes a mess, but keeps things clean), then use that to
clean the eyes of gunk. This worked fairly well with DS once or twice.

I've done that. Well, not into HER eye...
