How to Clean your Baby’s Nose, Ears and Nails
Despite their inactivity, young babies' faces can become very filthy. They are able to produce ear wax, nasal mucus, and ocular discharge just like adults do. Here's the proper procedure to follow if you have a young infant and are wondering how to clean the baby's ears, nose, and eyes.
Ears
Concentrate on cleaning the outside area. Even if the drugstore is stocked with numerous ear cleaning products and internal formulae, only your doctor can determine whether they are necessary. When cleaning your baby's ears, exercise extreme caution. Only clean what is visible, and avoid getting anything inside your baby's ear canal or nose.
Nose
There are a few things you may do to gently relieve your baby's congestion if it is present. To relieve congestion, discuss utilizing saline nasal drops or a rubber bulb syringe (to suction nostrils) with your baby's doctor or other healthcare professional. Use a cotton round that has been dampened to gently wipe away any dirt from the area around the baby's nose. You can use a skin protectant made for newborns for irritation under or around the nose.
Nails
Nails can hold dirt and bacteria, so trim your baby's nails frequently to stop him from scratching himself and the spread of infection. After a bath, when they are softer, cut them. To cut tiny nails, use baby nail clippers or blunt scissors with a magnifying glass attached. Cut along the natural line of the finger, pressing the finger pad away from the nail to prevent hurting the finger's skin.
