Although the baby ear-cleaning process is pretty straightforward, there are many ways to do it incorrectly. Ears can be damaged or infected by the improper technique and it’s important to train yourself to snip (clean) at the right time.

Parents always try to do their best for their kids. In most cases, it is a lot more than they did in their own childhoods and that’s alright. However, it is no secret that raising a kid is not an easy job. There are so many things to think about, and so much to provide for our little darlings, that sometimes even the simplest things can take a whole lot of effort.

It’s important to keep a baby’s ears clean and dry to prevent infections

It’s important to keep a baby’s ears clean and dry to prevent infections. In addition to washing your hands often, you also need to wash your baby’s face every day. This will help prevent ear infections.

• The best way to clean your baby’s ears is with plain water or a non-medicated liquid cleanser. Water should be warm but not hot. If you use a cotton swab or other small implement, be sure not to push too far into the ear or damage the eardrum may result.
• A mild soap can be used on the outer ear area, but never use any sort of soap or cleanser on the inner ear canal where it can get trapped inside and irritate your child’s sensitive skin

• Use a soft cloth and warm water to wipe around the outside of your baby’s ear. This will help loosen any dirt and wax that may be there.
• If you want to use an ear cleaner, make sure it is alcohol-free and safe for babies.
• Be gentle when cleaning inside the outer part of the ear canal. Don’t force anything into your child’s ears, as this can cause damage or injury.

Use warm water and soft washcloths or cotton balls

Cleaning baby ears is a very simple process. Here are some tips on how to clean your baby’s ears.

• Turn the baby’s head to the side so that one ear is facing up.
• Moisten a cotton ball with warm water and gently swab the inside of the ear, from top to bottom.
• Use a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser to wipe away any wax or grime from around the outer edges of the ear canal.

Swab gently around the outer ear with a cotton ball or washcloth moistened with warm water. Don’t push the cloth or cotton swab into the ear canal or scoop around in there

To clean out the inner part of your child’s ear, use only a cotton swab moistened with rubbing alcohol or peroxide solution these are germicidal so they kill bacteria that cause infections in the ear canal. Do not use water on this part of your baby’s head because it could cause him to catch an infection that could travel down into his eardrum and become an ear infection.
