They sound like signs of teething to me. Another sign that your baby is teething could be them pulling on their ears. Since the “ear, nose and throat” are all connected, teething can cause ear aches in babies, which can lead to crying and fussiness. Other signs of teething include: - Swelling around the gums where tooth is about to break through - Redness in creases around neck from the excess drool getting stuck - Irritability - Restlessness/Sleeplessness - Sucking thumb/fingers - Fussy feedings Found a link with some suggested teeth remedies, hope it's useful for you : http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a567532/my-baby-is-teething-what-can-i-do

Here's a list of teething symptoms: Drooling Irritability A tooth visible below the gum Swollen, bulging gums Trying to bite, chew, and suck on everything she can get her hands on Rubbing her face Difficulty sleeping Turning away food Grabbing her ears If you notice several of these symptoms together, it's more likely that teething is to blame, but there's always the chance that it's something else.

By shouting do you mean irritability? If so yes, it very well could be that your child is teething. If your child is running a temperature however even with these symptoms, it's always better to take them to a doctor.

I know they are! My baby showed the same symptoms now. This one's a good reference that adds on ideas on how to soothe your teething baby (uses good illustrations too!) http://www.wikihow.com/Soothe-a-Teething-Baby

Yes they could very well be signs that your baby is teething. Check his or her gums and see if they look red/swollen, or if you can actually see a tooth.
