Ear Wax Remedy: Baby Oil to the Rescue

My little boy was about three years old when I had to start looking for an ear wax remedy. I had already tested a variety of different methods on him. It had gotten to the level that he raced to try and hide every time I was walking out of the bathroom with the bulb syringe.
He didn't really understand that I didn't want to hurt him or make him uncomfortable. It didn't even matter that his ears were better, he could hear much better and was even in a better disposition once we were done. It had gotten to the point, however, where neither one of us could tolerate the whole procedure.
Even at three years of age, he had a stubborn mind of his own and did not want to undergo anymore ear wax remedy treatments from me - no matter what. I had even used my bribery attempts of ice cream, candy and other treats as he quickly caught on that mom would only travel so far to satisfy his wants.
The day I found the power of baby oil changed this dynamic going forward. I was one of those moms that didn't really see the necessity for baby oil. After all, he was very soft and squishy already as a baby - what benefit would the oil provide? In my shortsighted ways, I did not use the oil I was given at a baby shower and instead stuffed in the back of a closet.
At one time in my irritation with our ear wax remedy, I had heard that baby oil could help in maintaining healthy amounts of ear wax within the ear and I remembered that bottle in the closet. I had nothing to lose. After keeping the bottle in a warm bucket of water for a few minutes to warm the oil, I put a couple drops in my son's ear - as he was put between my knees to keep him quiet.
What happened next seemed nearly magical. His squirming stopped and he seemed to relax as the oil worked its magic. As it started to come out of his ear, I started to clean it with a cotton ball and out came some wax along with it. I was so excited, I almost forgot my son's head was still on my lap. Granted, not all the wax came out so quickly, but it was a positive start.
I still needed the bulb syringe to remove the wax, but my son seemed to actually enjoy the experience. Who knew we could turn such a stressful situation into a positive successful process with something so simple - and yet, so powerful. If you are seeking an ear wax remedy you may still already have, check your bathroom cupboard for the baby oil.
