Hello All, I read somewhere that pacifiers (as well as bottles) can cause otitis media. I am aware of two b/f babies, who both have dummies, that have had repeated otitis media and have had grommets put in. What is the mechanism behind the dummy (SA term - Yuck) use and otitis media? Can someone comment please. TIA Sincerely, Barbie Currie.
