I know there are heaps of other threads asking the same thing, but would appreciate your opinions.

DS is 5 months and 1 week. For the last 3 or 4 days every nappy has been pooey when normally he only does 1 a day. Bottom is a bit red but not sure if thats because he is going more. He rubs at his right ear especially when feeding, and gnawing on his hand and other things a bit. Drooling everywhere, so much so that creates little pools of it on his mat, the bench etc. Can't see any spots in his mouth 'tho.

The poos and the ear rubbing could mean other things so not sure if should just dismiss it as teething.

Thoughts??
