Keeping your baby's ears, eyes, and nose clean is key to preventing infections and ensuring their skin remains healthy. Since babies have sensitive skin, regular cleaning removes irritants like mucus, milk, and dirt, promoting overall well-being.

Start by dampening a cotton ball or soft washcloth with warm water. Gently wipe each eye from the inside corner to the outside, using a fresh cotton ball or a different part of the cloth for the other eye to avoid spreading any potential infection.

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away any visible dirt or earwax for the outer part of the ears. Remember, never insert cotton swabs or any object into your baby's ear canal, as it can cause harm.

It's best to avoid soap on your baby's face to prevent drying out their delicate skin. Warm water is usually sufficient. You can use a mild baby cleanser diluted in warm water for the ears and nose if necessary.

Cleaning these areas before bath time is ideal. This routine helps prevent discomfort caused by water entering the ears or nose during the bath.

Yellow drainage in the first few days can be normal, but if it persists or is accompanied by redness, it's best to consult your healthcare provider for advice.

Sneezing is a natural way for newborns to clear their nasal passages and is usually not a cause for concern. However, monitor nasal secretions and consult your healthcare provider if you notice anything unusual.

Ensure you're gentle during cleaning, avoid putting objects inside the baby's nostrils or ears, and thoroughly dry their skin, especially under skin folds, to prevent irritation.

Talking or singing to your baby can provide comfort. Choose a relaxed time for cleaning, and ensure you're gentle and quick to minimize any discomfort.

If you notice signs of infection, unusual symptoms like pus, swelling, or hearing difficulties, or if you're concerned about your baby's reaction to cleaning, it's important to seek medical advice promptly. Regular check-ups are also crucial for monitoring your baby's health.
