In recent posts, several people mentioned using breastmilk in ears for ear infections. Help me here, are we talking about infection of the middle ear or outer ear? It seems quite logical to me that breastmilk drops in the ear would help infections of the outer ear, but I can't quite see how it would help a middle ear infection (though that didn't stop me from trying it with my son's most recent ear infection :-). Is the eardrum more permeable than I realize? What am I missing? Thanks. Susan Horein Wisconsin, USA mailto:[log in to unmask]
