FTM here! Do you clean your baby's ears often? Do you use a washcloth or a baby q-tip? Also, how often does your baby get a bath? My daughter will be 2 months tomorrow. Thanks!!
I clean them one or twice a week with the safety q-tips and just wipe them when I give her a bath. We do baths every 2 days or so working up to daily baths after about 3 months to get her use to a bedtime routine. She's 6 weeks now.
I have never cleaned any of my babies ears. Let them drain naturally. Using q-tips can push wax back in which can result in an excessive build up & blockage. Wipe the ear with a damp wash cloth if there is visible wax that has come out of the canal, but q-tips are not a good idea.
My little guy is almost 2 months and he gets a bath several times a week or more often if there's a blowout.
