My baby threw up breastmilk & it went in her eyes. it started to have tears & mucus(?) in one eye. what to do? i put eye drop hoping itll dilute.

Flush with eye drops: This is unlikely to cause a big problem. Just flush the area well with water or eye drops if you have them. Monitor the situation over several hours. If baby does not become constantly fussy it is unlikely it hurt the eye. If baby is constantly fussy take her in.
