很多妈妈都会说，宝宝耳朵里好像有耳屎，宝宝耳朵痒，是不是该给他用棉签掏一掏？如果你也有这样的想法，不妨来看看美国儿科专家的建议~
ps：你家宝宝多大的时候你给ta掏过耳屎的？简单说说你的看法~
可以用棉签给宝宝掏耳屎吗？
千万不要把棉签和任何东西插入宝宝的耳道，这很容易导致宝宝的耳膜被刺穿。耳屎是耳朵的天然保护屏障，没有任何理由掏耳朵，把耳屎掏出来。
如果你担心耳屎累积的太多，可以向宝宝的医生寻求帮助，如果耳屎太多导致医生已经无法看到耳膜了（耳部感染检查的时候会看到），医生会帮你把耳屎弄出来的。否则就让耳屎顺其自然吧，如果你用棉签，可能会把耳屎弄到耳朵更里面。
给你的建议是：用棉签沾婴儿油或双氧水小心的简单清洁耳朵外部即可，或者是用纱巾沾温水以后在耳朵外部轻轻擦拭即可。

Can I clean my baby's ears with a cotton swab?Never insert a cotton swab or anything else into your baby's ear canal; you could easily puncture the eardrum that way. Earwax (cerumem) is nature's protection for the ear canal, and there's usually no reason to try to get it out of your baby's ears.
If you're concerned about a build up of earwax, ask your baby's doctor about it. If there's so much wax that the doctor can't see the eardrum (which she'll need to do when checking for an ear infection), she'll remove it. Otherwise, it will come out on its own eventually, and sticking a cotton swab in there is likely to push it in farther.
Instead, simply clean the outer part of your baby's ears with a cotton swab moistened with oil or peroxide, or a washcloth moistened with warm water.
要注意安全啊，把东西都藏起来
