A. It's not uncommon for babies to occasionally touch or scratch their ears, but if your 3-month-old is constantly itching their ears, it could indicate a few potential causes: 1. Teething: Though teething typically starts around 6 months, some babies experience early signs, and ear rubbing can be related to discomfort from teething. 2. Earwax Buildup: Excess earwax can sometimes cause itching or discomfort. 3. Dry Skin or Eczema: Dry patches around the ears or eczema can lead to itching. 4. Infection (Ear Infection): If your baby seems more fussy than usual, has trouble feeding, or has a fever, it could be a sign of an ear infection. 5. Allergies or Irritants: Sensitivity to detergents, fabrics, or products can sometimes cause irritation. If the itching persists, or if you notice other signs like fever, irritability, or ear discharge, it would be a good idea to consult your pediatrician to rule out any infections or other issues.
