Treating PINK EYE {home remedy}

Pink eye is also called CONJUNCTIVITIS and can affect everyone from 0-whatever. It's that yellow, dried-up gooey, crusty substances that glues your eyes shut and makes your eyes red. If you've ever had it, it's miserable, and you want it gone quick!

Instead of drops to get rid of it, I usually use a 50/50 mixture of warm water and Johnson & Johnson's No Tears Baby Shampoo. I rinse out the eyes about 3 times a day for 3-4 days depending on the severity and it clears it right up! I learned this trick from a neighbor of mine. There is an ingredient in the shampoo that kills the bacteria that causes pick eye. The wonderful part about it is that I can put right on the eye area without stinging or screaming from my little baby.

*For infants, I would recommend dipping cotton balls into the solution and wiping baby's eye areas. Use only one cotton ball per wipe since you don't want to re-infect the area.

However, please keep in mind, I'm not a doctor, so if you try this and it doesn't work, there may be something else that is causing the pink eye and you need to go in for a check.

Happy Motherhood!
