No need to clean ear. You should never put ear buds or anything else inside adults ears let alone baby's ear. There is natural cleaning mechanism of ear which gets distributed by putting ear buds.
Only if ear is blocked and hearing is impaired then cleaning is needed and that should be done by an ENT surgeon only no body else.
