How to Clean a Baby's Eyes, Ears & Nose

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Veronica Baragas, and I'm with Mywigglesandgiggles.com, and I'm going to share with you how to clean a baby's eyes, ears, and nose. Now under these circumstances you won't use a regular Q-tip or - to clean your baby's ears. What I would recommend is a small real soft baby washcloth, and usually you can just kind of wrap the washcloth damp or you know, with warm water around one of your fingers, and gently, you know massage the eye when trying to clean gunk. Or you can gently massage the inside of the ears. So basically it's more of massaging than anything, when it comes to the nose you can also use one of the suction devices that they have. I'm not too big on them but you can definitely use them, it helps when they're a little bit more congested or whatnot, but just for generally - for general cleaning, use a small soft baby cloth with warm water and just wrap it around your finger and gently massage the areas. I wouldn't go too deep in the ear, it helps - the earwax does help protect the baby at this early age, so - and don't forget to clean behind the ears as well. So that definitely just a damp washcloth will help with that."
