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

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Windy St. George, and this is how to clean your baby's eyes, nose, and ears. Sometimes the baby gets a little bit of crust in the corner of their eyes, so just get a soft washcloth, and some warm water, and very gently, rub away at the corner of their eyes, until you get all the gunk off. Sometimes, they'll get a little bit of a virus in their eyes, and they'll wake up with gunk all over their eyelashes. Sometimes even, they can't open their eyes,because there's so much of it. You just get a warm cloth, and you kind of saturate it, until it's softer, and then rub away the residue. The same for the nose. If their nose gets crusty, from having a runny nose, you just let it get wet for a little bit, and then come back to it, and kind of rub it away gently from the nose. They're not going to like this very much, by the way, so if you want to clean their ear, you can clean the outside of their ear, and just the very tip of their ear canal, but don't put anything in their ear. Don't put anything in their ear canal. You could be pushing more wax down into their ear canal."
