I am leaning toward this being an overtired/overwhelmed behavior but still a liiiittle worried.
two nights ago my 9 month old started going at her head with both hands when I was trying to get her to sleep (she was overtired). almost like a dog does when they have an itchy head or something, but she was SO mad.
She just got over a 2-week long cold so I'm really hoping it's not an ear infection..no fever or other symptoms. She's also working on the bottom two lateral incisors. So I guess it could be any of the above but man.. the scratches are killing me
ETA: she still does it occassionally.
