Yes I am vaccinating ( although he’s a bit behind on them now since at his last well visit he had an ear infection so didn’t give any ) why?

This is my story. When my 6 yr old was 3 weeks old I decided this baby has reflux. Dr laughed in my face as he was gaining beautifully. I went to 2 drs and they both thought I'm crazy. He had "crying hr" for about 2-3 hours every night and vomited alot. My dr claimed most babies have crying hr, many babies vomit this way. No reflux. Starting from about 5 months this kid was having back to back ear infections. Somebody I don't remember who recommended I go see Dr. Friedman. He's an allergist by trade but he's also has a degree in pediatrics. Dr. Friedman didn't even exam my baby. Just listened to my babies history. He put him onto reflux meds and the next ear infection he had was over 3 months later.

Ask your pediatrician for a vaccine insert next time youre there. Ear infections/otitis media is a common side effect from vaccines

How did you rule out the tongue tie? Many drs aren’t sufficiently trained to diagnose them. I see you wrote he has reflux, that’s another big tongue tie symptom.

Craniosacral therapy is a very gentle manual therapy that helps loosen up tight parts of the body so that everything can flow and drain properly.

Yes there’s a good chance it was missed, you need to have her evaluated by a tongue tie informed speech therapist or dentist. This is an important piece and probably the first thing I would look into , in addition to removing dairy. The other things will help, but their not root causes, they more just address the symptoms.

Off dairy is a MUST

Herbpharm garlic drops is a lifesaver

My baby had recurring ear infections or one that never cleared up from August until he got tubes in March (it took so long cause he had covid, and lingering cough etc couldn't get him cleared for tubes...) after the tubes he still had discharge coming from his ears and eyes, runny nose etc. I took him off dairy it worked like magic! ( I had a hard time doing this since I don't believe in it, his Babysitter took him off dairy and demanded soy based formula and it b"h is working)

I dont understand this thinking. what does "I dont believe in it" mean if countless studies show milk/dairy products can contribute to ear infections.. wouldnt you want to do whatever was in your power to help your child?
