Sticky eyes are something pretty much every parent will be dealing with at some point. It is so common in the early days when the tear ducts are so small that they become blocked in the blink of an eye. So to speak. Even Gemma and Jacob still suffer occasionally. At the moment, we tend to deal with it using cotton wool and some cooled boiled water. Easy – but a bit fiddly if I am honest. Not only do you have to wait for the water to cool down, but I find cotton wool breaks apart, even when it is wet. Plus it just feels….horrible!
We were sent some Dentinox eye wipes recently, and have been giving them a good try out on all 3 children. These wipes are saline wipes, made to cleanse eyelids and lashes, as well as clean out any gunk, and they are safe to use from birth.
Now, Max is not a fan of any type of wiping in the face area. Messy weaning chops and the general grubbiness of an almost crawling baby means a lot of wipib, but when he sees you coming near him with a wipe, he flaps and shouts. It was no different with these, but he did stop in surprise when I wiped his eye rather than his mouth or cheeks! He has had a slightly sticky eye for a couple of days – partly due to the fact that he likes to rub dinner into it. The Dentinox eye wipes made light work of the little bit of gooey-ness in the corner of his eye, and left him looking bright eyed again.
A really lovely review and sounds like they have solved a problem you were having too. Commenting for myself and on behalf of BritMums
What gorgeous eyes!
They sound great. May have to get some
I so wish these had been available when our almost 3yr old was a baby. He had terrible sticky eyes for the 1st 6 months!
Ooooo I didn’t know these existed!! there seem a much better option than cotton wool and water

These are great. My son has a blocked tear duct and we’re forever wiping his eyes with cotton wool. Wish I knew these existed.
These would have been great when my son was little

caleb had sticky eyes really badly when he was a newborn. i never knew these existed! totally agree with you about the cotton wool breaking apart. i hate that!
These are great. It’s awful when babies have sticky eyes and i hate wiping them, but I’d be confident doing it with these. Thanks for this review #TriedTested 🙂
oh those wipes look fab and great that you can buy them from supermarkets will keep my eye out to get some next time i am doing my shopping
I haven’t used these but i would recommend their cradle cap shampoo
These are fab aren’t they? Perfect for wiping delicate eyes and no need for nasty cotton wool! Lovely photo x
