is this just a quirk or a sign of something wrong?

For the past week, DD hasn't wanted me to wash her hair. She very forcefully pushes my hands away when I try to wash it. She has always loved her bath so I am wondering if something is bothering her or if this is just her testing me...

And she has been playing with her ear but not really tugging, more like when a dog scratches its ear.

I am debating whether or not to call the ped but I don't want to be one of those overreacting moms...

I haven't experienced this myself, but from what I have heard form others, this could be a tell-tale sign on an ear infection

Better safe than sorry, see if the ped will see her Chat Icon

Something new at this stage would merit a call. You are not overreacting at all. I'd check it out Chat Icon

i was told if the baby is tugging or flicking the ear that it could be a sign of an ear infection. Why not just call the peds if its been going on for a bit, doesnt hurt to make sure.

I would definately get her ears checked. Good luck! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

ETS: It could also be wax, in which case the doctor will tell you and maybe even scoop it out for her.

I would take her in. Hopefully its nothing and just a stage, but if it is something you will be so happy you went.
