Do some baby's eyes produce water more than others?
Our 12 week old daughter has watery eyes occasionally, even when she isn't crying. She produced tears from a few days old, which has been remarked on by others as unusual.
It doesn't seem to cause her any discomfort, and I guess it could be because she barely ever blinks, and is constantly staring with wide eyed wonder at this new world of hers. (Or it could be hayfever.)
We are going to the doctors just to get her checked out, but I suspect they will say it is nothing, unless I can provide some suggestions.
Do some babies have watery eyes in absence of an allergy or medical issue? What else could cause this?

From the Mayo Clinic,
Infants
In infants, the most common cause of persistent watery eyes is a blocked or incompletely opened tear duct. The tears may dry out and appear crusty, but not necessarily due to infection. Within a few months, most blocked tear ducts in infants resolve on their own.
Though as the comments have said, talk with your pediatrician about this as it could be an infection or other medical issue.
