How to clean a baby's ear It is not recommended to use a cotton swab, as it can push the wax into the ear and perforate the eardrum. It can be used to remove dirt from the outside, in the ear, but not in the ear. So how should I clean the baby's ear? Using a towel or gauze. Let's go step by step? 1- Lay the baby down 2- Turn the head so that the ear is facing upwards 3- Wrap the towel or gauze around your finger and wet it in warm water 4- Squeeze to remove excess water 5- Pass the damp towel or gauze over the outside of the ear and behind it too and then come back with a dry cloth and dry This cleaning can be done daily after the baby's bath! Cleaning is only done on the outside. Only external dirt should be removed, as earwax is a substance naturally produced by the body to protect the ear against the entry of dust and dirt, in addition to forming a barrier that makes it difficult for microorganisms that cause infections such as otitis, for example. If there is an excessive accumulation of earwax, it is a good idea to take it to the pediatrician for an evaluation. #ear #baby Hello, I'm Mary, mother of two! I decided to create this channel because I had a hard time as a first-time mother. I didn't look for information and had a lot of difficulties at the beginning, especially regarding breastfeeding. That's why I decided to study a lot about newborn care and specialized in breastfeeding, which is the part of motherhood that I can say I like most. Here on the channel, I bring a lot of information based on studies and also on my experience as a mother of two. I give tips on pregnancy, newborn care, breastfeeding, baby sleep, baby behavior, weaning and much more.
