Ear Infection Remedy



So I found this on Pinterest a few weeks ago an pinned it just in case I ever needed to try it. Last night Elizabeth started showing all the signs of an ear infection. The fever, running nose, lack of appetite, and not being happy on her back either in her crib or in the floor. So finally at 9:00 last night I decided to give this remedy a try. It certainly would be less money then a doctor appointment and or prescription for the ear infection. I found it on this blog.

All I did was warm up a  tablespoon in a double broiler in the stove and took it off the heat.(you could also put it in a bowl inside a bowl filled with hot water.)  It cools down very quickly. I put her on her side as to nurse her and Ken took a baby spoon and dropped a few drops in her ear. About 5 minutes later, we did this to the other ear. After 20 minutes she was her normal happy self again. I just may do this every time.

  1. How old was your baby when you did this? I am prepping an article on my blog and would love the input!

  2. She was almost 6 months at the time I tried this. Email me if you want any more info. My email is shaniskinnygirl@cableone.net. Elizabeth is the only baby I haven't had to take to the doctor for an ear infection.
