Cleaning the Ears, Eyes, and Nose Baby

Organs around the baby's face should be cleaned to maintain their health. However, these parts need special attention because the baby's skin is very thin and fragile. Here are some tips from the Smart Book of Caring for Babies 0-12 months, dr. Suririnah for clearing the ears, eyes and nose of our baby.

Eye

If we want to clean the baby, it is important to ensure that your hands are clean. Use a soft round cotton dipped in warm boiled water, wring it out, then gently wipe the baby's eyes are covered with cotton. Starting from the edge of the eye near the nose toward the outer edge of the eye. Do not use the same cotton repeatedly. Replace cotton swabs to prevent the spread of any germs. Dry eyes with a tissue or soft cloth.

Nose

Clean the dirt on the baby's nose when it starts to look any dirt from outside. Use stemmed cotton (cotton bud), which has been moistened with warm boiled water, then gently lift the dirt.

Ear

Simply clean the rear, outside and around the baby's ear leaves carefully with cotton that has been moistened stemmed warm boiled water, or a washcloth with warm water, then dry.

Avoid cleaning the baby's inner ear may cause serumen (ear wax) is mixed with dust or dirt pushed into the inner ear to the eardrum around. If occur repeatedly, then the dirt can come together and harden, thus blocking the ear drum to capture the sound vibrations from the outside. Ear wax, or serumen is part of the ear system to defend against entry of dirt and dust to protect the baby's eardrum.
