1 year old baby eye tearing?

Eye tearing in a 1-year-old is a common occurrence. The two most common causes are:
1. Clogged tear duct — Can be from birth; usually single eye with constant tearing but no redness. It typically resolves by around age 1 on its own.
2. Conjunctivitis (eye inflammation) — If accompanied by redness, crusting, green/yellow discharge, infection should be considered and pediatric/pediatric eye exam needed.
What you can do at home: Clean gently with a clean hand from inner to outer corner with a warm, clean cloth. Always wash your hands before and after touching the eye. Don't use the same cloth between eyes.
Consult pediatrician if: The eye is red, there's discharge, your baby is rubbing their eye, there's light sensitivity, or there's swelling — same-day evaluation needed.
