My little baby of 4 months has been suffering from SES (Smelly Ear Syndrome) ever since she was born. She is so full of shit that it oozes out of her ears. For the longest time, I would clean and clean her ears with cotton buds and baby oil until they got red, yet the smell persists. Finally, I googled and discovered.
Thank you, Google. You are truly amazing.
Apparently, smelly ears in babies are incredibly common. It’s funny because I never experienced that with Tee. Never. The story goes that when milk dribbles down their mouth, sometimes it trickles into their ears and then sits in there for…..forever. Yup. As gross as it sounds, my baby has a cheese factory going on inside her tiny ears. *EEEEEWWWWEEE!!!!!*
If only we could make some money out of her cheese factory. Anyone want some pure cheese? What I need is a mini hoover to suck that darn cheese out……vvvvooooooommmm………….vvoommm….vvvooomm…….vvvvoooomm…
The other day, a large sized piece of nose booger (and I mean LARGE) fell out of T2’s ear and the Hubs and I wondered if Tee had purposefully planted one of her boogers there. You can never tell with kids but when asked, we identified that she was innocent. What else could it be?
One of T2’s ear produce!!! *EEEEWWWWEEEE!!!!!*
The size of it was bigger than the largest piece of booger you could ever get from an adult. How does such a tiny ear produce such large amounts of cheese???? OK, I know. I’m really grossing you out now. I shall stop. Amen.
tell you a ‘secret’. I keep a box of Amber’s momentoes, birth cards, first jar of baby food, an envelope of her hair sheds and the most ‘precious’ of all the a ‘nose booger’ stuck on a cotton bud. Wanna see ? Shall I post it ?
LOL..you are funny and I am also laughing at elaine’s comment above. Did you check with her paed what you can do about it?
Oh, I never heard about it before. But the nurse in the hospital did tell me that I have to prevent milk, water, etc to flow inside the ears. Otherwie, the ears would have infection then.
justin also used to have very smelly ear and also big shit falling out. But its the soft andf yellowish ones.. i clean n clean everyday . now no more..
my boys were gifted with wet ear wax too, eewww…i thought poor thing their future girlfriends, but luckily it gets lesser as they grow up.
I didn’t know that, so thanks for sharing. Just yesterday I took B3′s temperature with an ear probe and out came the gross stuff. ha ha
