Hygiene is a very important factor in the care of the baby. But sometimes, it is not as easy as we thought or seemed, so, we are going to give you a series of tips so you know how you can clean your baby's face easily and safely.
The best time to wash the baby's face is when you are more relaxed, so after the bath is perhaps the best time to do it.

If we have just taken the baby out of the bathroom, it is important to make sure we dry his ears well. Special attention must be paid to the folds, in which water droplets may remain. If our little one has too much wax we should not try to remove it with a stick or introduce anything inside, at most, try to clean the one that is in the area of more out with a swab. Remember that it is normal to have plenty of wax, necessary to protect the middle and inner ear from external infections.
After cleaning the face of the baby, and even if your baby does not have teeth, you have to take care of your mouth from very small so that future teeth come out healthy. For this reason, it is recommended that after the baby's last feeding day, pass sterile gauze with serum through the gums and teeth.
