Any time the baby is exposed to a cold the risk of getting an ear infection is high. My 1st one didn't get one for the 1st year but she wa nevre exposed to other kids. Once she started school she brought stuff home to her little brother and he would get them constantly. It just depends on how much exposure the kids get to other kids with colds. Etc..

My son had his first ear infection at 6 months, along with RSV. He is 8 months old and has another one. My oldest daughter did not have an ear infection until she was in first grade! The difference is incredible. Also, I am a stay at home mom, so the risk of infection is lower, however we've battling the second one in 2 months. Go figure.

My daughter was about 4 or 5 months old when she got her first ear infection. She will be 2yrs. old the end of June and she had to get the tubes put in her ears when she was 18 months old. She would constantly get ear infections. She has not had one since she had them put in. Ear infections suck! Especially for baby. Good Luck with everything.

Mine (two boys ages 3 and 1) have never had ear infections. We don't vaccinate, and they didn't have cow's milk until they were well over a year old, both of which things might increase the risk... :)

To my knowlege my son hasn't had one yet. But some people believe that teething may cause ear infections. Maybe baby is about to get their first tooth?

My son was about 4 months..then again at 6 months, 9 months, and 14 months. My daughter has only had one (she was 10-12 months). Hang in there!
