Ear Infection :(
Posted On 09/16/2008 11:28:44 by ShawnMattysMama
My poor little man has an ear infection! The first time he's really been sick (7 months old on friday) and it's heart breaking. He wasn't even pulling at his ears at all and wasn't really having a hard time sleeping or eating, the eating was spread out a little more but he still was eating. Then last night he wouldn't eat before bed and his temp went from 100.2 to 102 in a half hour and that was with tylenol after the 100.2. He woke up this morning without a fever but I still made an appointment and I'm very glad I did. I was surprised to hear ear infection... I thought breastfed babies are supposed to be protected from ear infections? My husband took him to the appointment because of my home daycare so I couldn't talk to the doctor about it. And on that note the kiddos just woke from nap #1.....

I'm sorry your little guy is sick. Ear infections are nasty.

BF babies have fewer ear infections, but that doesn't mean they will never get one.  DS1 had numerous ear infections and DS2 seemed to have only a few.  Both were breastfed.  Anyway, make sure to the give the liitle one some tylenol on top of the anitbiotic (if it was prescribed).

Take care!
