My son has been getting chronic ear infections. He’s almost 10 months old and has had one (at least) every month since he was 5 months. I’m beginning to wonder that a milk allergy could be causing this. My doctor didn’t think so because he thought my son would have gotten eczema or have GI problems, but I’d like to rule it out at any rate. We tried Similac Allimentum, but my son refuses to drink it- he can’t stand the taste! Do you know of a milk-free/soy free formula that babies like?

This was me when I was a kid. Cutting out milk also cut out my ear infections. Cheese was always fine, and now that I’m older, I can handle milk and ice cream just fine as long as I partake rarely.

Great article, Jasmine! I took my little one, who had chronic ear infections off all dairy products when she was four, and she has not had one since. I wish more parents knew about the link between dairy products and upper respiratory and ear infections in children.

And you are so right about So Delicious coconut milk products! Our whole family enjoys not only their dairy-free ice cream and coconut milk beverages, but also their coconut milk yogurt and kefir. Yum!

Great job bringing up this topic. After my 2nd child came along, who started showing a dairy sensitivity around 8 weeks old, I cut dairy out of my diet (I was exclusively nursing). Besides all this great info by your guest expert, I have found Dr. Jay Goron’s web site to be a good source of information on dairy and how it can cause issues in children.
Here is his essay on Cow’s Milk:
