Dear Kelly,
This page has many natural cures and explanations of a chalazion.
Some of the ideas may not be practical for a baby, but I know if I were looking for a natural solution, I would consider using charcoal or breastmilk on the chalazion.
Extra Virgin Coconut oil is a great anti-viral/anti-bacterial remedy. My daughter recently used it on a stye on her eye and it helped so much and was easy to apply.
I have used garlic for its anti-biotic properties for my children many times. For babies that are not eating yet, garlic salve can be put on the bottoms of the feet several times a day and it will absorb into the body.

If you are still breastfeeding, you can take a lot of garlic yourself and it will go into your milk.
I hope she is all healed up soon!
