See an eyeMD: How do you know that they itch? That is a symptom. Mif the eyes are red, that could be caused by a variety of things. No "gunk"is a good thing, but my best advice is to see an ophthalmologist.

Allergy: If you have a pet then it may be the cause. Please keep the area clean and dust free. Wash the face and eye with cold water and use cold compressors. Please avoid detergent and harsh material around the baby. Please consult your ped. Doc.

Red itchy eyes: Domes she sleep with stuffed animals, or a feather pillow, these are only a couple of things that could cause allergic conjunctivitis. Check her bedroom for other possible causes such as dust or plants/flowers.

M.D. visit: If your baby has a blotchy rash that looks like hives this is also consistent with an allergic reaction. Red eyes may be caused by many conditions I would suggest gently rinsing the eyes with sterile saline to soothe the eye, and avoid any possible triggering agent such as dust. A visit with you doctor is suggested.
