Why do babies always scratch or pluck their ears? Is there something wrong with the ears?

Because the baby is particularly hands-on at this time, so he will pull his ears, not all have problems, at this time should buy something to help the child do something, can improve the baby's situation.

It's not a problem, it's just that newborns are more curious about their bodies, so they are constantly exploring, as long as they don't scratch it, it's fine.

It is because he feels that his ears are very itchy, and he thinks that his ears are very playful, and there is no problem with his ears, but because of the child's playful nature.

The baby is very small, he doesn't know his ears yet, and suddenly grabbing his ears is particularly novel, so it will not be that there is anything wrong with the ears, but the baby's curiosity.

Mothers should often see their babies scratching their ears, and most of them will feel very helpless, and then a series of questions pop up in their minds: Is the baby's ears uncomfortable? Is it inflamed? Do you have eczema? Isn't it time to pluck your ears?

There is no need to worry about most cases of baby ear grabbing, but there are several types of situations that need to be paid attention to, and mothers should be clear about these points:

For babies aged 4-12 months, often scratching their ears may be driven by curiosity to ** their own body organs;

It is a common phenomenon for babies to scratch their ears during the teething period, which is due to the discomfort of the baby's teething, and the baby scratches the ears, pulls the ears, and picks the ears, all in order to reduce the pain or disperse the pressure;

The baby's ears increase and cause discomfort, or parents use cotton swabs to pluck the baby's ears, and the cotton swabs are too thick to push the earwax to the back to cause discomfort, which will also make the baby scratch the ears frequently;

If it's not otitis media that causes your baby to scratch his ears, it's probably because of eczema on his ears. Because there is heating in the home now, it is easy for the baby to cause eczema in a hot and humid environment for a long time, resulting in itchy ears, so the baby can't help but scratch. At this time, parents must pay attention to go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination, and also pay attention to maintaining ventilation at home, do not be afraid of the baby getting sick because of the low temperature, if the baby is in a hot and humid environment for a long time, it is also very bad for the baby's health.
