Pesky Ears

[fanw]

Well, we made it 3 1/2 years and now we've finally encountered our first ear infection. M is such a chill baby, we almost didn't realize it. She continued to be smiley during the day, but at night she tossed and turned and refused to sleep anywhere but in my arms, so we took her in and sure enough she has an ear infection

I wish this was one of the weeks I had a free Thursday to help A out but I'm booked this week. :(
Hope the tyke feels better soon and you all get some sleep.

My daughter used to get at least her fair share of ear infections, and we dealt with every single one with breast milk. And now I am a breastmilkvangelical. Just a few drops of fresh (not frozen & thawed) milk in the ear and within an hour she'd be doing noticeably better. (This followed an episode from her infancy, when 5 days of antibiotics for an eye infection didn't wipe it out, and then one application of breastmilk did.)

So, um, speaking of which...my daughter has an ear infection this morning, for the first time in 3 years (measuring back to when I last went looking for a lactating woman in my vicinity). Any chance you have a few drops of breastmilk to spare, including in your fridge?

Sadly I'm not even keeping up with her demands and we're supplementing with formula. Nothing to spare! Thanks for the tip though!

Poor kiddo! Hope she continues to improve and everyone's happy and healthy by the time you need to leave. And good luck with the interview!
