We were told by an aunt with a child who had the same condition to put breastmilk in his eye. "What!" After we got over the absurdity of this notion we put a couple drops of breastmilk in his eye, the tear duct cleared and the problem NEVER RETURNED, EVER. We even gave a small amount of milk to a coworker who was unable to produce milk but whose baby had the same condition, WORKED FOR HER TOO! If your baby has a blocked tear duct, put breastmilk in the eye, it may work, it may not, but if it does you just avoided simple yet probably still invasive and expensive surgery.
