DS is 4 months old. I keep noticing his ears seem pretty waxy to me. I kind of get the outsides with a baby qtip, but I hope I'm not aggravating it and making it worse. Any suggestions or experience with lOs and waxy ears?

My LO has this too, I think it's pretty normal. Just make sure you don't stick the q tip in too far (as you know) and you're good!

Tons, but I only clean the outside. The pediatrician comments on it whenever she looks into his ears, but isn't concerned.

DD has lots of wax. I just make sure to gently wipe what I can with a wet washcloth at bathtime.

It's perfectly normal, I only wipe very gently at the outer section of the ear, never try to put anything inside the ear to clean the wax out as it could do more damage than good!

My LO has always had a lot of earwax. The pediatrician has never said anything and I read somewhere that it's normal. I clean any that is on the outside of the ear.

We've noticed some wax too. I use a couple of baby qtips every once in a while to clean things up.
