It has been observed widely by most of the mothers that cows’-milk-based formula is directly related to ear infections or congestion.
However, it’s not the truth. Some believe that kids who are breast-fed have fewer or no ear or respiratory infections. Consequent upon which, they have attributed cows’ milk based formula as the root of causing infection.
Another such misconception is that babies who are fed on bottle develop ear infection because their posture becomes instrumental in such a case.
It has been assumed that while lying, the Eustachian tube drain ear fluid into the rear of the throat at the back the nose. So when a tot drinks milk in that posture, the liquid will reach the middle ear via throat and Eustachian tube. And in here, bacteria will feed on it causing infection.
All this is mere myth and it is advisable to keep away from it all together.
