Long time no speak! :-) I breastfed both of mine, and have to say that the son who was breastfed for ten months has (touch wood) had a lot fewer ear infections and chest infections than his older brother, who was breastfed for two months. I have no clue if it made any difference! It's much more important that a child is loved, in my opinion! Hope your son will soon outgrow these childhood nasties! xo Hey there!

If he wasn't breastfed, he could be sick even more often. Poor little guy, I hope he's feeling better soon! Some kids are just sicker than others.

Though my son had a milk protein allergy (he grew out of) the first 6-8 months of breastfeeding. I had to eliminate dairy from my diet in all forms. Slowly I have been able to reintroduce it and he is doing fine. But in those early months he'd get sick when I would have any dairy. www.kellymom.com has great resources regarding this. Also if two of your children have asthma it might be environmental... mold maybe? Plus with two older children bringing in all sorts of germs your youngest might be working on building his immune system. Just thoughts. It might not be the breastmilk.
