I sent the following Email to the makers of OtoLAM an office based laser
device to treat otitis media. The web site is:http://www.earinfections.org/
I'll let you know of any responce


I was looking at your web site for the OtoLAM as I had received information
in the mail about this instrument.
On the page with information about preventing otitis media you had the
following:
                                   -Keep your child away from contact with
                                   smokers
                                   -Try to choose a small day-care facility
or
                                   home-setting over a large center
                                   -Wash hands to reduce passing on cold
germs
                                  -Wash toys that may go in your child's
mouth
                                   -Don't allow drinking from a bottle while
lying
                                   down
                                   -Clean contaminated areas with
disinfectants, especially objects that have been
                                   touched by children with colds

Not mentioned was the fact that breastfeeding is protective against otitis
media. This has been supported by several studies and is stated in the
American Academy of Pediatrics' Statement on Breastfeeding and the Use of
Human Milk. http://www.aap.org/policy/re9729.html
Please consider placing this information about the protective effect of
breastfeeding on your web site.
Thank you
