Your toddler gets into a mess of messes, and some of that grimy stuff finds its way inside her ears — and then out again as earwax. So while getting her ears cleaned isn't on your child's priority list, it's a good idea to make it part of your regular toddler tub time routine. That's the best time to remove any earwax, wipe away other gunk and check if anything got lodged inside those cute, little ears.| What to Expect
You know the signs all too well: the cranky mood, the cold symptoms (runny nose and low-grade fever), the tugging on the ear, the loss of appetite and the difficulty sleeping.
