Last week when I took DD to the doctors, the doctor said her ears were very waxy. This is not the first time a doctor has said this. It was mentioned the time before as well by another doctor (maybe about 3 months earlier).

I clean my ears with a cotton tip once a week but I never did this as a child. My mum never let us stick anything sharper than our elbow in our ears!

So any suggestions on how I safely clean DD's ears and get rid of this wax build up?
Does anyone actually clean inside their childs ear or am I an odd mother for not having cleaned inside my child's ears?

I cant see the wax near the surface of the ear so it must be in further than my eye can see. I don't want to do any damage to her ears.
