My 3-month old breastfed DS has a minor ear infection (redness only, no bulging) in one ear after getting a cold. His ped. prescribed antibiotics, but I've heard that a few drops of breastmilk in the affected ear works just as well if not better, w/o the side affects--waterier stools, possible thrush for DS & me. He has only had a low-grade fever, <100.4 rectally. Sleeping more than usual, eating more frequently but less quantity, but still smiles when prompted.
Has anyone tried breastmilk in the ear? I'd love to hear your results. TIA
