Baby rubbing both ears .. and eyes ... a lot?

[SenseAndIrritability]

DD1 (6.5 months) keeps putting her hands on her ears, or pulling them a bit (touching both at the same time), and has been rubbing her eyes a lot over the past few days. She is a wee bit out of sorts, but nothing drastic.

Would this be related to her second tooth coming through, within days of the first appearing? Or is there a more sinister explanation?

DS did this when he had tonisillitis...

could be teeth, or maybe she is just ear-achy (with the teeth).

It took me a while to realise that ear tugging was my DS's cue that he was tired, particularly when accompanied by eye rubbing.

Same here with DS1 stubbyfingers. DS2 is just starting to do it too.

All mine have done that when tired.
