My grandson is 81/2 months old and has been teething for several months. He has cut the front bottom two at 6 months and recently the front top two have come in. He cries and pulls at his little ears a lot. Our Ped doctor said that it is normal for teething babies to grab at their but I don t recall any of my three kids grabbing at their ears. He is not ill in any way that we are aware of, I feel that my daughter should have him looked at. Any ideas?
Hello. I just read through your question. I agree with your pediatrician that babies frequently pull at their ears when teething. However, it is always worth a look in the ears just to make sure.  Though the diagnosis is most likely teething, I would consider consulting with the doctor and having the ears checked.
