Eye infection
My daughter is 10 months old. Her left eye has been infected and water keeps running. My doctor started with eye drops. Is it safe to use wet wipes to wipe or clean her eye lids ?

Wet wipes may contain alcohol or other chemicals which may irritate the eyes. Use a clean cotton swab instead
