Can breast milk be put in the baby’s eyes?

Although breastmilk is mild and not irritating, human eyes are highly sensitive and any foreign substance that enters the eyes will cause some discomfort. In actual life, there are instances where breastmilk is squeezed into the eyes to relieve symptoms such as pain, dryness and tearing of the eyes. However, if breast milk enters the baby’s eyes, it may cause the baby’s eyes to be irritated and cause symptoms such as tearing and itching, so it is not recommended to do so. If your baby has eye diseases such as dryness, tearing, pain, and increased abnormal secretions, you should take your baby to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and then follow the doctor’s instructions for systematic treatment.
