helmets and ear infections-take 2

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

I tried to post this once, but have no idea where it went. My 6 mo son

has an ear infection and hasn't slept well the past few days. Last

night he slept without his helmet and slept wonderfully. I'm wondering

how his helmet might affect an ear infection. He has been on antibiotic

for 2 days which probably has a lot to do with him sleeping better. Any

experiences here? Thnaks.

Seems 's mail is slow going - again. Messages usually show up sooner or later! ;o)

It was probably a good thing to take the helmet off for a day or 2. If there was any fever, n was probably really hot with it on. Most parents are advised to remove the helmet until fever is gone. The anti-b's were probably kicking in too. Whatever it was, a good sleep is always the best medicine for a sick baby!
