A newborn child is, albeit small and not yet at all smart, but already a real man. And naturally, like any adult, a baby needs to wash himself daily. While he himself does not know how to do this, his mom and dad should monitor the cleanliness of the child's face, nose, eye and ears. With special care, it is necessary to carry out the procedure for cleaning the ears of a newborn.
Instructions
Step 1
In the morning, during the daily washing procedure, the newborn should wipe the places behind the ears with cotton pads soaked in warm boiled water.
Step 2
A newborn baby's ears are best cleaned during an evening swim. To do this, the child's head should be turned on its side. Soaked in warm boiled water or mineral water, pre-rolled with a cotton roll, you need to carefully wipe all the folds of the newborn's auricle. Instead of homemade cotton swabs, you can use special stopper cotton swabs to clean your newborn's ears. Naturally, you will need a separate cotton swab to clean each ear.
Step 3
The ear canals of a newborn baby should not be cleaned, in order to avoid various injuries. In addition, with careless movements, when cleaning the ears of a newborn in the area of the ear canals, you can push the sulfur to the eardrum, thereby causing the formation of a plug.
Step 4
Baby ears do not like moisture very much, therefore, after bathing a newborn, small cotton balls can be inserted into his ears for 3 minutes, which will absorb all the excess liquid.
Step 5
By the way, earwax is very actively pushed out in a newborn when sucking. Therefore, the morning ear cleaning can be done immediately after feeding the baby.
Step 6
In addition to all this, caring parents should remember that ordinary cotton swabs should never be used to clean the ears of a newborn.
