Hi, I was recently talking with the parent of a 5 month old breastfed daughter210. The parent mentioned that she was starting the same bouts of ear infections that her two older siblings had experienced. I suggested the possiblility of food allergies and the father agreed that this was a possiblility, as the older siblings also have allergies. I mentioned that cow's milk was a likely allergen, and offered to give him some references to share with the pediatrician. I thought I had references at home and have been searching for them in vain. I have checked the LACTNET archives, and though there is a lot of great suggestions there, I didn't find any studies mentioned. Do any of you have articles in your files discussing the connection of food allergies, particularily dairy and ear infections, or can you point me to where I might find them? Thanks!
