Ear and Nose Care

How do I clean the wax from my baby�s ears.

Sticking a cotton swab into the infant�s ear canal is an absolute taboo. Clean just the outer ear with a wet washcloth instead. Newborn wax also comes out of the ear on its own accord. So cleaning the outer ear will take care of the wax discharged from the ear.

How do I clean my baby�s nose

When you clean mucus from a baby�s nose, use the corner of a wet washcloth, rather than a cotton swab. If the baby�s nose gets uncomfortably stuffed from a cold you can use an aspirator. (If the congestion persists, take your baby to the paediatrician.). As a home remedy for congested noses, you can also steam up the bathroom and then take the baby there. As a precaution, turn off all hot water taps before you take the baby in the bathroom.
