how to prevent tears go into baby's ears?

[GCDollar]

Hi,

I'm concerned tears may go into baby's ears and cause ear problems when baby cries. Can you please share tips/ideas on how to prevent this from happenning?
Thank you.

Well if they are flat on their back the tears are going to run down into their ears, but it is unlikely that the tears will make it far enough into the ear canal as to casue any damage. If you are concerned, just wipe them away with a tissue when bubs is crying.
