Scratching side of head
Anyone’s LO scratching the sides of their head, just above the ears? My son has started doing this yesterday, usually when he’s feeding. He has very little and very fine hair so I can see there aren’t any spots or cuts etc. Any ideas why he might be doing this? Could it be linked to him teething? Should I get him checked out?

Oh wow my 7 month old boy is doing the exact same thing too! The right hand side above his ear. He started doing it about a few weeks ago
Mine doing the same as well!! 😟
Yup mine to I think it's a form of self soothing x
Left hand side and I think a soothing thing. She scritches with her hands a lot at the moment!
Yes my little boy does the exact same thing, think it’s just a self soothing thing x
My daughter does it when she’s going to sleep. I think it’s self soothing but she does also have eczema x

My 7 month old boy does this as well, his done from about 5 months old. He only does it very occasionally now but he used to do it a lot. I think it’s a bit of teething and comfort.
