waxy ears

Hi

My daughter is 8 months now and has had waxy ears from birth. My mum says that its better to have waxy than dry ears but now im unsure. I have to clean them everyday. Has anyone else got this problem?

yeah my daughters ears are very very waxy. we have been told not to clean her ears very often which is dificult not to because i think it looks gross so i ge the bits that i can see. but maybe worth checking it out at dr, my daughter has ear infection after ear infection and antibiotics has not shifted the infection

My DD's ears are very waxy at the moment, but its only started since her first tooth was cut 2 weeks ago and she's teething again now so might be related?? (My DD is 10mths)

Hi i was also told the more you clean them the worse they become as the ear will just produce more .try to just leave it an extra day see if it improves

HI. My daughter gets waxy ears and she is 5 months it has only just started over the last week or 2. i dont think it is an infection as she doesnt seem to bothered. but she does grab her ears when she is tired and i think she is starting to teether because she is dribbiling so much. so it could be down to that.
