Question
Why does my baby keep scratching his ears when he naps at night?
Answer
After observing if there’s any water in the baby’s ears after a bath, you can gently wipe away the moisture with a cotton swab, but do not go deep into the ear canal. Avoid vigorous play before the nap, and keep the environment comfortable with an appropriate temperature and soft lighting. Make sure the clothing is comfortable and not too tight. Having a parent nearby can help keep the child calm. If the symptoms persist without improvement, it’s best to visit the hospital for further examination.
