ear problems seem to run in our family. At least three of my grandchildren have had tubes put in and several of them had tubes more than once. My oldest dd never had an ear infection in her life, I don't believe but she is hearing impaired. My oldest granddaughter wears hearing aids. My son, has otosclerosis and had surgery to remove all the bone tissue in his hear after he had gone deaf in that ear and replaced his bones with titanium ones. He is now deaf in the other ear and need to have the surgery in that ear.
I do believe that breastfed babies suffer much less with ear problems.

Cara, my three were all breastfed for over a year, and yet son number 2 suffered with one ear infection after another. He also got croup, and caught every upper respiratory virus going around (possibly every one ever invented!). I've had one in my entire life and it was so painful that I just hope that I was nice enough to poor ds when he was suffering!
