She's two and has never had one. I believe breastfeeding until 18 months helped play a role. My husband had tubes so we were really grateful to not deal with any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ear-infections-has-your-lo-had-1#post-1060243 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 14:05:39 +0000 lemondrop 1060243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None yet at 20 months, knock on wood! I've never had one either, but my husband had many growing up. I'm a big believer that breastfeeding helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ear-infections-has-your-lo-had-1#post-1060236 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 13:59:54 +0000 GrapeCrush 1060236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He had 5 that were diagnosed, we suspect he had more, they just weren't bothering him enough to go to the ped. One at 5 months, 7 months, 8 months and 2 at 14 months after the 2nd one at 14 months, he was referred to an ENT and had tubes put in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ear-infections-has-your-lo-had-1#post-1060212 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 13:39:48 +0000 junebugmama 1060212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None.

He goes to a small daycare 2 days a week and gets plenty of colds, but we've been lucky with ear infections so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ear-infections-has-your-lo-had-1#post-1060204 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 13:36:47 +0000 lamariniere 1060204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0 at 2.5 years. </p> <p>*knock on wood* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ear-infections-has-your-lo-had-1#post-1059773 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 07:41:18 +0000 mrs.cookie 1059773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamamoose: us too.

She has been breastfed all of her nine months of life and we are currently still battling to get rid of ear infection number three (amoxicillin and cephdinir both failed so now she's on Bactrim). My kid seems to get an ear infection every time she cuts a tooth. Bleh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ear-infections-has-your-lo-had-1#post-1059445 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 20:29:03 +0000 irene 1059445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He had none before he turned 1. We started daycare at 1. It was countless after that... I am talking about every 2-4 weeks.sometimes the infection don't clear after a round of antibiotic so I dunno if it is counted as 1 infection or 2. It was bad. We decided to do tubes at 17 months. No infections since.... Knock on wood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ear-infections-has-your-lo-had-1#post-1054351 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 22:42:40 +0000 skibobrown 1054351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she had two in the first year or so.
