Hello, my 7 mo son keeps scratching his ears all night in his sleep and keeps moving constantly. I had given Zyrtec for 5days last month and it helped to an extent. But he has again started scratching recently.
Also he hardly sleeps during the day, naps for may be an hour at the most. It is exhausting as he needs to be constantly monitored because he ends up scratching his eyes or ears.

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.
