[blparent] How do you give eye drops to a new-born?

[Judy Jones]

My daughter was a little older than a newborn, but got pinkeye.  Instead of the drops to the eyes, the pediatrician placed her on a medicine to be taken internally.  Is there such an option with the drops you would need to give?

Hi Everyone,

 

You all have been so helpful thus far, and I appreciate all your great tips on several topics.

 

Our latest. 

 

How do you safely and effectively give eye drops to a new-born baby?

 

All ideas, especially from personal experience as a blind parent, would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Darrell
