Ear infection

You know how they say that breastfeeding your baby can reduce their risk of ear infection?  Well, I'm pretty sure that's a crock.  Max now has his THIRD ear infection since February!  Kid hasn't had so much as a drop of formula. He's all about the boobs, as you know, but yet, we keep going to the doctor and we keep leaving with prescriptions for Amoxicillin to treat his ear infections.


Alex on the other hand was combo fed (breastmilk and formula) from about three months old to nine months and then from nine months to one year formula only and to this day has never once had an ear infection.

  2. Ugh, poor little guy.
    I never bought the "breastfeeding makes kids healthier" stuff. I mean, I know that it's better beyond anything else and I also know the antibodies in the first few weeks are incredibly important. However, neither of my kids were nursed longer than four weeks and neither has had anything worse than a common cold. No ear infections, never. Knock on wood.
    Hope he feels better soon!
