He has had 2 performated ear drums with no warnings. He is 7 months old. He has had fluid in his ears for atleast 2 months. His ENT suggested a dairy free diet for him and myself also since he is breastfeed. We have been doing this for about 1 month now. The hope is that the tubes will allow the ears to drain. You said your daughter had tubes then later found to be allergic to milk. HOw long after you stopped milk did the ear infections go away? Lisa mom to Dennis, Marcella and Hunter( all of who have had many ear infections)
