Hello, greetings!
Thanks for posting your query in hcm.
I have gone through your query. If there is no redness/ watering/ discomfort in the baby's eye, then you have nothing to worry about. Our eyes have protective mechanism of producing tears so do not worry.
In case of any appearance of above mentioned symptoms, you may take her to a local opthalmologist for an examination.
If you have further doubts/ clarifications, you may get back to me.
