Avoiding baby & toddler ear infections

I don’t know if you can convince me that there is anything more painful for a child than an ear infection. They’re absolutely horrible and heart breaking.

I hated having to run to the pediatrician and getting antibiotics for every ear infection.

I started searching for more natural remedies and came across Kids Mullein Garlic Oil.

It’s a dropper for easy application. Sometimes I add a drop in each of my kids’ ears before bedtime just to clear out ear wax. But I always apply it morning and night at the onset and first “my ear hurts” and it hasn’t let me down.

I also add a drop of each Tea Tree, Lavender, and Thieves along with a carrier oil (my faves are coconut oil and jojoba oil) and mix/warm it in the palm of my hand, then apply it all around their ears.

This mix also worked wonders for me when I had a sinus infection. It was the only way I was able to get some sleep and it saved me from having to take antibiotics.

This is by no means medical advice! Make sure to talk to your pediatrician with any questions or concerns. I’m just sharing what has worked for us!

The garlic oil is a staple we always keep in our home!

Ear infections can be distressing for both children and parents. Common in babies and toddlers, these painful infections often lead to multiple visits to the pediatrician. Many parents are turning to natural remedies to ease symptoms and prevent recurrence. Kids Mullein Garlic Oil is a popular choice among parents seeking alternatives to antibiotics. It’s praised for its effectiveness in soothing ear pain and clearing out ear wax. Additionally, essential oils like Tea Tree, Lavender, and Thieves can be beneficial when combined with a carrier oil. These oils possess anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties aiding in recovery. Always keep in mind that while these remedies can be helpful, they are not substitutes for professional medical advice. Consulting with a pediatrician is crucial for any ongoing concerns regarding ear infections. Ultimately, understanding the triggers and being proactive in care can make a significant difference in your child's comfort and health.

Wow I've never heard of this remedy (I just do an onion compress and drops of onion juice), but I'll have to look for it. Thank you for sharing!

Can I use this on my 4 month old?

Always talk to your baby’s pediatrician before giving them any medication and if you notice any fever or difficulty breathing. It’s better to be safe. If they have a fever I found it very helpful giving them a bath (not too cold). I like to have my son on a shirt and I keep him with lightweight
