  I was just dealing with this!
  After every shower, if she'll let me, I wipe out her ear lobe, never going inside the ear but closely around the entrance and all over the folds of the outer ear, with q tips until she is clean or until she fusses for me to stop. In a good mood she likes her ears cleaned.
  
  My dr. said "never put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow".
  
  I do the same for my ears, though they tend to stay much cleaner than DD's. She seems to make a lot of earwax!

  I gently scrape it out of the ear canal entrance with my pinkie nail.  He doesn't seem to mind at all.  I clean out the exterior folds of his ear with Q-tips.

  i use the special infants qtips. my girls make a ridiculous amount of earwax.

  TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption! 
  

  

  
  Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

  Our ped told us to use Debrox to soften the earwax-- but he has abnormally chunky earwax that wasn't resolving on its own. I put the drops in his ear but never put anything in the ear canal.

  I also use the baby Q-tips. I just clean her outer ears with them, and barely the canal. She can get stubborn ear wax stuck to the tragus part of her ear. When that happens, I use a baby wipe to clean it off.
  
  I once had the cotton from a Q-tip break off in my ear and had to have the doctor remove it. So embarrassing! Now I'm pretty careful about how I use them.

  we use the qtips too and its seems to work fine for us. Also if the wax is where I can see it I put a tissue on my fingers and wipe it out.
