It could be simply because of ear wax. It is a very common symptom how babies express due to wax in ears. Rarely it can be due to fungal infection as well. As it is 8months old baby, I suggest you to take her to ENT and confirm if it is wax or fungal infection and then start the ear drops cause ear drops for wax is different from that for fungal infection
