breast/bottle/ear infection
When I visited the ped for my dd's 4th month shots, I asked him if
there's a way at all to prevent ear infections. I know for a fact bfing reduces the chances for 'any' infection but I wanted to know if I can do anything else. He said I should plan to stop all bottle feeding by 9th month and shift to sippy cups. Bottle feeding increases chances for ear infection it seems. Given the answer, I was wondering if ebm in a bottle increases the chances for ear infection versus nursing. Any ideas? Thanks. |

I have been told that the problem with bottles is that the baby can be horizontal while feeding so milk is more likely to flow back into the ear and cause an infection. So this would apply ot both breast milk and formula. However I was also told it is easy to avoid by only letting baby use a bottle when at least slightly upright. Arghhh look at tht time.. got to go :-) |
