thanks hun, he's on his second set of antibiotics but is still pulling on his ears, i don't know what else to do to comfort him...

I sure hope he gets to feeling better soon Haley. I know it is hard for him, but also hard for you. I was so blessed that Ricky was never sick as a child. I mean I think he's only vomited no more than 5 times his whole life and never had an ear infection.

GAYLE.......I was just curious and thought you may know. I have heard this and wonder if it is true.

I was told that when you are feeding the babies their bottles or nursing, that you need to sit them up as much as possible and to never give a bottle to a baby laying down. That the milk/formula can somehow affect their ears. Is this true?

I made sure when Ricky was a baby to sit him up as much as possible and while other kids his age were getting ear infections, Ricky has never had one.

Is there any truth to that or were Ricky and I just one of the lucky ones?

Janet they told us that in birthing classes, cause the milk could run down the babies check into the ear, and that can cause ear infections. they also told us not to put him in bed with a bottle cause of this.. there might be other reason that Gayle could answer,,

Haley, I'm sorry that Micah is still having his ear infection. I think that it probably has to do with his teeth coming in too. They always seem like they have a cold when their teeth come in and ear infections go along with colds. Give Micah a hug from me.

Thanks Diana, i don't know what to do, seems like the antibiotics aren't working so well, then they put him on stronger ones, and he is still pulling those ears. I feel so bad for him, his nose is running so bad. and Harley scratched his face last night to boot, and his nose is so red and sore, i'm going to put some aquaphor on it after his bath tonight, probably from wipping it so much lately.
