A. It's common for babies to scream or make loud sounds as they discover their voices, but if your baby is also pulling or stretching her ears frequently, it might be worth looking into. Ear pulling can sometimes be a sign of ear discomfort or an ear infection, especially if it’s accompanied by other symptoms like fussiness, trouble feeding, disturbed sleep, or fever. Babies can develop ear infections due to colds, congestion, or even after lying down for extended periods. Sometimes, ear-pulling can also be due to teething, as the gums and ears share nerve pathways, causing the baby to feel sensations in the ear area. In some cases, babies pull at their ears simply because they're exploring or are curious, which is completely normal. If she seems generally happy, without any signs of pain or distress, this behavior may just be part of her development. However, if you notice other signs of discomfort or if this continues for more than a few days, it might be wise to consult a pediatrician. They can check her ears and help rule out any possible issues, giving you peace of mind.
