Baby toilet is an important hygienic procedure that is performed daily and requires special knowledge and skills from parents. It also includes caring for the child's auricles. How to properly clean your baby's ears?
Instructions
Step 1
Just like an adult, a baby's ear has its own filter that traps small foreign particles. Thanks to him, they do not penetrate the sensitive inner parts of the ear. This filter is a useful natural lubricant - earwax. Know that the ear can cleanse itself, getting rid of all unnecessary things without your help. At the same time, the old sulfur is gradually washed out or leaves the auditory canal, and in the meantime a new one is formed in its place.
Step 2
Wash your baby's ears with daily bathing. After the procedure, wipe your ears with a towel or diaper. Once or twice a week, you can use a small flagellum twisted from gauze to clean the outer part of the ear of the crumbs. You can moisten the flagellum with baby oil or boiled water. Then just gently remove the wax that has accumulated at the exit from the ear canal, gently wipe the ears. This is enough to keep the baby's ears clean. It is not worth making flagella out of cotton wool in order to exclude the possibility that a piece of it will accidentally remain in the baby's ear.
Step 3
Some parents mistake sulfur for dirt and regularly try to remove it from their child's ears. Know that this is not really necessary. Moreover, by acting in this way, you can only harm the baby. Trying to deeply clean your baby's ear with a cotton swab can accidentally injure the walls of the ear canal, as well as the eardrum. In addition, with such manipulations, the sulfur will not only not go away, but it will also be even deeper rammed in the baby's ear, i.e. the purge goal will still not be achieved. And the resulting sulfuric plug will have to be eliminated with the help of a doctor.
