Be very careful and gentle while cleaning the ears of a baby. Ears of babies, similar to their overall body, are also very delicate. Do not go deep particularly while cleaning the ears of a newborn.

Specifically produced wipes for babies can be used for ear cleaning. Clean the ear bowl and the area behind the ear with a wipe. Be careful and gentle while wiping, and pay attention to disallow the spread of the dirt. After cleaning one ear, make sure that the wipe or moistened cloth is clean before moving to the next one. The cloth or the wipe should not remain wet and they should be wringed out of their water. Otherwise, water may penetrate into the baby’s ear and cause infection. Specially designed cotton swabs for babies are recommended.

Be very careful while choosing materials for cleaning; make sure that the product is hundred percent cotton. If the baby’s ears are extra dirty, or if they are always getting dirty, go to a doctor instead of cleaning at home. Pushing any swab or cloth into the baby’s ear is not recommended.

Cleaning the Ears after Bath

Bebeklerde banyodan sonra kulak temizliği hassas bir konudur. Bebeğin tüm vücudu gibi kulaklarının da tam anlamıyla kuruması gerekir. Kulakları tam kurumadan bebeği yan yatırmak yanlıştır. Bebek kurulandıktan sonra normal şartlarda gerçekleşen temizleme prosedürleri gerçekleştirilebilir. Yenidoğan bebeklerde kulak temizliğinde petrol içerikli kulak temizleyiciler ve vakumlama yöntemi kullanılmamalıdır. Hafif ve yumuşak ürünler tercih edilmeli ve yine ürünün yüzde yüz pamuk olduğundan emin olunmalıdır.
