always my 5 month old boy scratching his ear .whether water went into the ear while taking bath .or what will be the reason doctor I put ear drops also but itching doesn't stop.

A. Your baby is self-soothing Your baby might be pulling, rubbing, or touching their ears because it feels good and helps them relax. If your baby is playing with their ears to self-soothe, you'll probably notice that they do it more right before they fall asleep or between feedings
