If your friend doesn't want to take her child off of milk ask her to prove you wrong by taking her child off of milk for 1 month. If there are not visible changes then she has proved you wrong. I have an older daughter who had ear infection after another and then finally had tubes put in her ears at 3 years and still got ear infections. She still drinks milk but still sometimes gets ear infections. My younger daughter is anaphylactic to milk and I am lactose intollerant. My son is okay so far. Is this coincidence or connected?
