    Pulling her ears!

    Why is she doing this???

    It has just started, yesterday I noticed it and she's doing it today too.

    I know it can mean tired or teething, well she was doing it right after I got her up after a sleep today with no other tired signs, she kept doing it on and off until I put her back to bed just now. Can't be a tired sign then?? Or can it??

    As for teeth, well I've had a good feel and there's nothing sharp or anything in her mouth.

    What else could it be? She's 4 months old.

    Sometimes it is a sign of an ear infection.

    Oh maybe she just found her ears and is having fun playing with them? My DS did it from time to time.

    But keep an eye on her jic...

    DD has been doing this for the last week too!! She doesn't have a temp or anything, I don't think it's an ear infection. But she pulls them really hard sometimes, ouch!!

    I'm starting to think it might be teeth bc she's very whingy at the moment and her sleep is TERRIBLE!!!!

    My mum was worried about an infection... hmm, I might go check her temp...

    Heaven - she does seem extra whingy ATM and her sleep is rotten too... our bubs are so similar

    Maybe there are teeth but they haven't appeared yet???

    Yeah, I can't see anything on DDs gums but I read that for a while before they actually come though they start to move around under the gums and this is what hurts them.
    I have just discovered I have some Brauer's teething stuff here so I'm going to try that and see if it make a difference and if it does I will assume it's teeth.
    Going to get an amber teething bracelet too!

    They are very similar! I have just bought the no cry sleep solution book, I have had enough! I need sleep! Hope it works!
