is it safe to use this if your child already has tubes? My 20 month old got tubes at 15 mos. he was a micro premiee &amp; is resisitant to antibotics.

I am not a medical professional so I can just give you my opinion. In my opinion I would say that yes, it would be perfectly safe and probably more helpful than the antibiotics. This is homeopathic meaning all natural and these are things that naturally heal and your body is most likely not going to ever get resistant to it. Think of it this way, if your son gets an ear infection, then he already has an infection in his ear tubes which is something only there to be harmful, something bad in his ears. But if you then put the Wallys oil in his ears, you are putting something good in his ears, something that is naturally healing and soothing. This stuff works about a million times better/faster than any of the antibiotics ever did for my girls. They are now 4 years old and have still never had another ear infection because of this oil, the first sign of ear ache and I use it. If either of my girls had ear tubes, I WOULD use this in their ears and feel that it would not hurt them but that it would actually help them. If your son gets recurring ear infections even since getting the tubes, if I were you I would actually put these drops in at least once a week at bedtime to help prevent infections. Or if you notice him pulling at his ears. Hope that helps :)Also, ear infections are SO painful, antibiotics do nothing for the pain and Tylenol only helps somewhat but the ear oil works miracles and almost was always immediate for my girls. If its a real bad infection it might take longer to soothe, I don't know, but my girls always stopped crying right after I used these drops.

me again...see just below.... I started using them when she was around 4 months. I groom her nails just before I apply but you must be certain to not cut the quick, this could cause an infection by applying on top of a cut quick (pink exposed skin in nail)

I used with my son when he was about 6 weeks old and he slept good with it. I would say ask your pediatrician if you think it is too early for your baby to use it.

Rogges, so did you find this worked for your little one and his/her reflux? I'm debating on whether to get it or not. My 7 wk old is having it pretty bad. Thanks in advance!

I use it for every visit to the doc with my little one. She is a year old and I've used it since 4 months. It really helps!

I found it most useful when my daughter was small. Up to about 3 or 4 months old. By then, we were both into the swing of breastfeeding and I was more confident too. I think it could still be used for an older baby though if required.

Of course! Just remember that you should only keep a 24 hour supply. Some say 48 hours but, why risk it :) Also if your pediatrician approves it I used motherlove more milk special blend it helped my supply a lot since I was exclusively pumping for a preemie who couldn't latch on. It's a lot of work just keep going as long as you can! And pump as often as you can, you should read about power pumping that helped me a lot as well. Also try motherlove nursing cream its great!

Well our baby girl was not a preemie but we did try it when she was 1 month old to help her between bottle n breast transitions when she needed to be fed breast milk from bottle. I would not recommend it for a preemie our any small baby. It was to big for our 8 lb baby girl nearly choking her because of the length of the nipple. Being it wasn't cheap and I do like the concept we kept it to try again later and she is just now able to comfortably use it at 6 months and over 14 lbs...

I was worried about sterilizing this also when I bought it. However my pediatrician says that as long as you rinse it with warm water right after you are done using it then wash it with warm soapy water you never have to sterilize. He says the same thing about bottles. That works for us because I wash it with hot soapy water as soon as it is empty so I can fill it up again. Don't know if you are comfortable with that advice but I am passing it on. I do throw it in the dishwasher once in a blue moon.

Yes, that is what I am using mine for. I started using it on him at 10 months, but you can use it much earlier than that.

Thanks for the prompt response. This is very helpful. Any idea if this product can be used 2 months after c-section or is it effective if used immediately after the baby delivery.Thanks,

I work as a family nurse practitioner... Plus have 2 kids, one who is old enough to use this booster (which we love). Safest recommendation-- wait until 40lbs to use this booster, even though your kiddo is technically tall enough to use it. Frustrating, I know. But the 3-point carseat is safest until they reach 40lbs.

It states that it can be used for a newborn...but i would be hesitant. The tub is slippery and newborns are so wiggly it just seems a bad combination. I used it around 4-6 months. Hope this helps.

Yes we are using two of these. One for our 28 mo old, the other 12 mo. We anticipate using till at least 3 years old.

Hi Joanne,I also have a 2 year old and used it on her. I just made sure that I didn't put it on her hands that she puts in her mouth. I also used it on my 3 month old's legs. :)

I'd check with your pediatrician just to be sure. I don't see why not but best to play it safe.
