A. Ear should be only cleaned superficially and gently by an ear bud when the baby is sleeping Do not try to clean deeply by yourself as it can cause injury so consult your doctor for that . if your baby is continuously rubbing the ear or there is any sign of pain when you should consult ENT specialist for this for proper clinical examination till then you sd jrhould maintain good hygiene. do not let the soap water of bathing and the breast milk or secretions during feeding enter into the ear canal to ensure proper hygiene.
