Cheesy ear?

[WhiteGeisha]

Hey ladies, good evening.

Just bathed the rugrat and when I picked her up and kissed her cheek I noticed a cheesy smell.

I thought it might be her neck rolls (even though I do these a millions times in the bath with a sponge and loads of baby wash so was a little surprised.....) so I cleaned then again with cotton wool balls making sure I got right in there!

Anyway, I then fed her and picked her up to burp her and could stil smell it. It turns out it is her ear. Only one ear, the other smells fresh as a daisy.

So I have cleaned this out thoroughly but it still whiffs of cheese. I cannot see any wax.

She has been a bit fussy past 3 days, could she maybe have something wrong with it? I haven't noticed anything abnormal with it i.e. discharge?

I have checked behind, and cleaned the whole area inside and out and behind!

Any thoughts?

Oh yes! this is the milk under the neck rolls and when it drips around the ears too, turns all cheesey! loverly ( If you use formula that is, if not could be a bit of sick)
I found LO stopped getting this problem at around 5 months, she had better control of the bottle
