mariettap - 1011 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Given the new fussiness, it's a good idea to get it looked at. When my first child was about 11 wks old, she started tugging her ear, just before I was about to travel with her, of course. The doctor checked her ears and she was fine. He said it looked like she just found her ears, lol. But with changes in behavior/eating/sleeping, it's a good idea to get it looked at.

LizetteCheree - 1011 days ago She has been teething since 8 weeks according to her pediatrician and this isnt her usual teething symptoms.Nothing help,not even teething jels,and they usualy do.Thanx tommiesmommy
