These can cause great pain, multiple sleepless nights for
the parents and even hearing damage for the child.
We have evidence indicating that bathing a child,
particularly one who wears diapers, can introduce the bacteria from "not
completely clean before bathing"
bottoms, into the ear, as the ear either gets under the water or bath
water splashes into them.
Try to either keep the head well above the bath water and
wash the head with a separate bowl of water or just use a shower with them
lying in the bath.
The evidence was provided by someone close to us who had a
handicapped daughter who always had to wear diapers, had multiple ear
infections and heavy doses of antibiotics and visits to the hospital and these
continued until the bathing methods were changed as mentioned. Then there were
no more ear infections.
Wishing you a Happy New Year
