Helen and others,

Here in the Netherlands we also use breastmilk for sticky eyes etc..
In your post you mention wiping the eyes from 'the inner corner' to 'the
outer corner' ( from the nose to the ears). It is my understanding that you
'always' need to wipe the eyes the other way around, from the ears to the
nose (so that you won't stuff the 'tear tube'). Can you explain why to wipe
them the way you describe???  It's not a major problem, but I'm just
curious.

Thanks for replying,
