a soft towel and put oil suited for children on the skin to help
moisturize it.
Eyes
Each eye should be cleaned separately using a piece of cotton
wool dampened with warm (not hot) water for each eye. Wipe
from the inside corner to the outside edge of the eye.
Ears
Clean the outside
and inside of the ear only, not inside the ear
canal; this is done by using a cloth or flannel,
not a cotton bud or
Q-‐Tip™, which may damage the eardrum.
Nose
Clean the baby’s nose with a cloth or flannel from the outside
every day, wiping gently around each nostril.
Nails
You can clip the baby’s nails easily when he is asleep, but that
should be done regularly so that he will
not scratch his face by
accident when moving his arms randomly. So make that part of
your routine.
Navel (bellybutton)
When the umbilical cord falls off,
the area may look not fully
healed and it may take a few days or weeks to heal completely.
This unhealed area does not need any dressing but it should be
kept clean and dry so that it will not become infected. Keeping it
dry will help the skin to form over it until it heals completely.
When the stump of the umbilical cord falls
off the child can take a
bath in the tub. When changing the baby’s diaper, fold down the
top edge to leave the umbilical area clear and keep it dry until it
heals. If you notice any discharge
from that area or the skin
around it becomes red, consult the doctor.
