I work in the inner city.  Babies who are mostly breastfed have so few sick 
visits that you can tell by looking at their charts!  (we use white pages 
for well   vss and blue pages for sick vss.) Ear infections are generally 
becoming less frequent as we have been  using Prevnar for several years now. 
However, I still think it is the immunities in human milk that gives BF 
babies the edge.
I'm talking about immunity to ear infections in general, population wide, 
not specific families or individuals.  There are always individual 
exceptions.
