Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Ear tubes already :(

My little man has had back to back double ear infections and tubes had been suggested but I was resistant because he's not even 9 months, well we took him in again with the runny nose etc and BAM, another awful double ear infection :(

The pedi was shocked he was in such good spirits despite the infections.  So he got a shot of anti-biotics and we've been referred to get the tubes put in.  Has anyone gone through this with a baby so young?  I just feel awful :(

  • Thanks for the reassurance.  My daughter had eye surgery when she was about 14 months so this should be a walk in the park in comparison, still, I can't help but worry.

  • I wish we had done DS earlier like that.  We could have saved him a lot of pain and us several doctor visits.  He had 6 double ear infections his first winter.  When we took him to the ENT, she suggested waiting to see how the next winter w
