Some kids don't mind, while others have a problem with it. My son didn't used to mind so much, but now he fusses every time I have to wipe his face.

Hi there baby_firefly, I think I must just say that I've seen a great differnce between how girls and boys react to having their faces and noses wiped! We have a friend with a little girl and like your little one, she isn't at all fazed with cleaning up. My son and I have seen other little boy totally detest it!!!  Always a mission to have them looking at least a bit presentable. However, I have noticed that as they get older you can reason a bit and get them to clean themselves even. The nose is the hardest and if they have a cold it is understandable as it's quite sore. Our clinic suggested wiping their nose with wet cotton wool as the water helps to soften and get it clean quicker. TABS |

I don't think it is a boy - girl thing because my girls hate having their noses wiped. My 5 yo is better now that she can do it herself though. I try to make a game of it & sometimes that helps a little.

Marcia loves washing her face but when it's time to wipe her nose it is like a little fight,I bought a kind of vaccum bulb but it's the same I try to use it when she's falling asleep but ven in that time it's difficult

My kids hate wiping their faces and especially having their noses cleaned. I try to be really gentle, but its always a struggle.

I think its natural, just make sure you use something gentle.

as i read your post what runs in to my mind is, your friend was amazed not to the fact that your baby doesnt like cleaning his nose, i think she is much amazed on how strong was your babys reaction on what you are doing... maybe she have encountered babies with same age as yours who doesnt even react on such occasion... dont feel weird with your babys reaction if you think its not normal on his age to strongly react that way... then i could say that your baby is hyper-active at his age which means he is advanced...
i know you could even conclude with my statement... you have a brilliant little one! And you must thank God for that...
Good day!(",)

Koen doesn't mind getting his face wiped clean of food, but with his first stuffy nose this week it was a real challenge. There was snot all over his face  from using his hands to rub his nose and everytime I tried to clean it there were big tears. In the end I gave him the wet face cloth to hold and suck on while I grab a spare corner of it to clean the nose. This worked most of the time and kept his hands busy. |

Ishan is a good boy.. he hates it if his face is dirty. immediately after finishing his food I should wash & then wipe his face or else he'll find something & wipe his face himself.. oh!! cleaning of nose is one big problem especially when he has cold.. |

My 15yo usually hates getting his nose wiped. But if I put the tissue box in front of him and let him put it up to his nose and pretend to blow, he'll let me wipe. He likes to think he is a big boy and can do it himself. Now I don't know if he would have done that at 7mo of age.
Getting his diaper changed is a nightmare too!
Poor sick babies. Offer lots of fluids, run a humidifier at night. If they'll let you, use saline spray in the nose to clear the airways.
