10 months old like close ears

Anyone’s 10 months old suddenly has a habit of closing his either one ear or both ears using both hands randomly ? Really hope its just a phase. Other than that he’s fine, hitting milestones, can make good eye contact, respond to his name, loveee human interactions, can walk unsupported, say baba mama and sometimes imitate our sound or movement

You can observe further? But other than that he sounds like a normal baby. Probably don't read too much into it whenever he closes his ear unless he seems distressed

Your baby probably discovered a new skill so he will keep doing it until he is bored of it or stop when he discovers another new thing. It’s normal.

I think sometimes babies do such actions only because they realise that they could do something, so they keep doing it for a while

Sometimes babies keep practicing new skills.
