You should know a few simple rules for caring for the ears of babies.
1. Be sure to pay attention to the folds behind the ears - they need to be lubricated with baby cream or oil. Make sure that no mixtures get into it and breast milk.
It is very important!
2. Clean your ears once a week after bathing. Excess sulfur is removed to maintain hygiene and reduce the likelihood of inflammation.
3. Use the dedicated ear cleaning accessories. Children's cotton swabs differ from ordinary ones in the shape of the head and in the presence of restraints.

4. When bathing cover the ears with small cotton balls. And then - take them out and wipe the ears with napkins. If water does get in, roll up the cotton swabs and place them not very deep in the ear canals.
5. Don't try to brush your baby's ears deeper. If you managed to push the cotton into it, do not try to remove it yourself. See an otolaryngologist immediately.
