      5 Steps for Success<\/h2>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      1. Gather the right supplies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      You should have a soft cloth or cotton ball and sterile saline drops or baby oil on hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      2. Avoid using Q-tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Or anything else that could potentially harm your baby\u2019s ear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      3. Always start by washing your hands:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Ensure that they are clean and sanitize to ensure that everything you use is safe for your baby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      4. Hold your baby securely:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      But gently, and tilt their head slightly to one side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      5. Using the soft cloth or cotton ball:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Gently clean around the outside of the ear and the entrance of the ear canal, being careful not to insert a cloth or cotton ball into the ear. If there is wax or debris inside the ear canal, use a few drops of saline drops or baby oil and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it away with a cloth or cotton ball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        \n
      • Wash your hands thoroughly and gather your supplies.<\/li>\n
      • Use a damp washcloth to gently wipe the outside of your baby’s ear.<\/li>\n
      • Avoid inserting anything into your baby’s ear, including Q-tips. The ear canal is delicate and can be easily damaged.<\/li>\n
