i dont really want to go down the grommets route just yet as shes so little, cranial osteopathy sounds good, she had that done when she was a newborn due to ventouse so might be worth another shot;...
I don't know much about milk intollerance but I have a feeling you'd have to cut it out for much longer than 2 weeks to make sure. However DD1, who is no 6.5, has just grown out of having glue ear - I hope. Over the years she's had two sets of grommets and many ear infections and burst ear drums. I also have been told that cranial osteopath can help.

i posted this on another thread but then found this one and think its more appropriate!

my 17month old DD has glue ear, and has been on low dose antibiotics for 3 months. Just been back to see the specialist today who has suggested it could be a milk allergy causing her to produce more mucous, leading to glue ear.
I am tempted to try a week or two milk free, but feel she's too little to stop having cows milk, what would i use instead? i dont really want to go back to formula.
Has anyone had experience with this??
