Smacking ears
I need mum advice, my 12 month old keeps smacking her ears… when googling this it doesn’t refer to the phrase of smacking it just mentions tugging & pulling.
Does anyone else’s child do this? Should I see the Dr?

@Jess oh that’s interesting sorry to hear that, I’m tempted to take her to the doctors as there’s no consistency as to when she does - some days she doesn’t do it then other days she does. Thank you for the advice though
@Emma it might just be a habit, my youngest boy is 11 months and he plays with his ears but I’m not too concerned at the moment, just going to keep an eye on it because I wish we had caught my eldest glue ear sooner. Fingers crossed all is okay with your little one 😊
My daughter a ear infection when she was doing this at 7mo
Sounds like an ear infection but this is very very normal for babies. Just get her checked out 😊x

If it’s something that has been happening for a while or continues I would get her ears checked. My son used to do this, hitting, pulling, covering his ears and he had glue ear in both ears which has affected his speech
