Deb, see if he will sleep on his tummy with his knees tucked up under him, it's the best way apparently. Elevating his cot at the head end can also help relieve his ears. Fortunately babies his age tend to sleep these things off once they do settle, hope the days go ok! -------------  |

He is loads better just got to keep up with the Anti B he has really dirty ear's. Is htewre anything I can do I know I can put any thing too hard in them but I do wonder if they are hard for him to hear. ------------- Deborah Mum to:

You can buy baby ear syringes to flush them out with water, but I think it would be very hard to do on a wriggly baby.
I use a warm damp muslin to clean Benjy's ears. Big hugs to Mikey! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Hugs Deb! Hope wee Mikey has a more settled night.
When Mercedes had a gunky ear a couple of weeks back I used on of the Johnsons baby buds (with the big heads) to clean around the ear canal and where it had leaked out onto her earlobe but didn't put it down into the canal itself (thats why the big ones are better coz they don't fit into the canal so no risk) ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
