I can't believe it actually works, luckily I have only had to deal with 1 ear infection in all of lo's 4 years of life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-to-heal-ear-infections#post-450123 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 15:22:55 +0000 Bao 450123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of this before, very interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-to-heal-ear-infections#post-450070 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 14:22:51 +0000 shopaholic 450070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My old boss would always tell us that breast milk can cure eye infections/conjunctivitis too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-to-heal-ear-infections#post-450040 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 14:02:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 450040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a barrier between the outer and middle ear, so I'm fairly skeptical of topical remedies unless the ear drum is ruptured. There is no evidence base either way as far as I know... But there is evidence to suggest breast feeding is protective. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-to-heal-ear-infections#post-450033 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 13:56:38 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 450033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious about this too because DD has a lot of ear infections and we're to the point of needing tubes. I would love to hear about natural remedies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-to-heal-ear-infections#post-450031 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 13:53:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 450031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use oil and garlic drops in the ear. It works like a charm. I have never not seen it work. I remember when I was a kid it would relieve the pain within ten minutes!<br /> I am sure breast milk could work too since it is a natural anti biotic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-to-heal-ear-infections#post-449706 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 06:46:39 +0000 creativemomma15 449706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember Mrs. Bee's post about ear infections and antibiotics a little while ago and she said you could use drops of breastmilk to help heal it. </p> <p>Has anyone tried this? How many drops do you use? </p>
