Pink Eye
I think my 3 year old has pink eye. I've heard it's going around here, and today he's got thick white discharge from one eye and it's reddish. He's also acting out, so perhaps it's bothering him. I have breastmilk frozen, how often and how long should I use that? He's very opposed to the idea, so I want to fight him as little as possible but also I want to clear whatever this is up. I've never dealt with pink eye before, so I'm not even sure that's what this is. How can I tell?

Re: Pink Eye
I've heard people talk about how much they try to contain it because they hate it, what makes pink eye so bad? Is it painful? Hard to get rid of?

So stuff that I have been doing that has helped since they only got it in one eye instead of both. Lots of kids end up spreading it to their other eye. I have been on them not to touch their face. If it was draining I cleaned it up. Wash hands a lot! I washed pillow cases and sheets every day. Take all towels out of the bathroom and use paper towels to dry hands. If you can't do this use a hand towel once and then put it in the wash. I never disinfect toys but I have started cause I want it gone.

Re: Pink Eye
it is super contagious!! i would do a few drops in the corner of his eye a few times a day. you can have him do it with his eye closed, then put the drop in the corner and just have him slowly open his eye.

For us, we didn't want to risk infecting anyone else, so we just stayed home until it was really clearly better. I also put drops in the other kids' eyes a few times just for prevention because it is so contagious and washed all the sheets, and especially pillow cases.
