In this video Dr O'Donovan shows you how to perform a tear duct massage for your baby. A blocked tear duct happens in around 5% of new-born’s so it’s a really common problem, but thankfully it does not damage the eyes or the vision and is harmless. In most babies, the condition clears by itself before they are one or two years old.
