Hair/fibre in my baby's eye

I think it might be a cat hair, or something ?
His eye doesn't appear to be irritated, but I know how much i hate it
when I get a hair in my eye.

Obviously, with his quirky, unpredictable moves ( you can't ask a baby
to "hold still for a sec" , I am unsure how to get it out.
Breastmilk, water, special eye drops, normal eye drops ? I'm guessing
to flush it is the best way, or should I just leave it to sort itself
out ????

TIA.

Try a bit of breastmilk dropped into the eye ... its pretty good at clearing
up most eye infections and might be enough to wash the hair out of the way.
FWIW, breastmilk is also a wonder at clearing a blocked nose or for putting
on any small scratches (on you or bub).

Hold his eyelids open and lick it. I'm serious. It's far the best way to get
things out of babies' eyes. I learned this from _Five Children and It_, by E.
Nesbit, and she turned out to be quite right.
