Preventing and Healing Ear Infections

I couldn’t be happier that the American Association of Pediatrics recently released new guidelines for prescribing antibiotics for ear infections. Woohoo! Annabelle had her first round of antibiotics at 4 months old, for an ear infection. Then she had another round. And then she had antibiotics injected into her pretty little legs while I stood […]
