It may be a normal physiological phenomenon for infants to have eye boogers, or it may be caused by infections, allergies, or blocked tear ducts. Normally, infants may notice a slight amount of eye boogers in the early morning hours of the day, in a relatively small amount. If there is no conjunctival congestion or swelling, it is usually mucus secreted during sleep, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, and parents need to pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the infant’s eyes. If an infant has a bacterial or viral eye infection that causes conjunctivitis, a large amount of purulent discharge may appear in the affected eye. When an infant is allergic to environmental factors or has seasonal eye allergies, this can lead to inflammation of the conjunctiva, causing the eye to produce a discharge. It is also possible that an infant’s lacrimal system is not fully developed and there is a blockage of the tear ducts, leading to tearing along with overflow of discharge. There may be other reasons for babies to have eye droppings. If excessive eye droppings are accompanied by abnormal conditions, you should seek prompt medical attention to clarify the cause of the problem and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
