What are the symptoms of a blocked tear duct in infants?

Babies don’t start making tears until they are a few weeks old. You may not notice a blocked tear duct in a newborn right away. As babies get older, blocked tear duct symptoms might include:

• Redness around the eye, usually from your baby rubbing the eye.
• Tears draining down the baby’s cheek instead of out of the eye corner.
• Tears pooling near the corner of the eye but not draining.
• Yellowish discharge or mucus in the baby’s eye.
