Hi A.,
Yes, it is safe for you to breastfeed while having an ear infection. You might try using garlic ear drops if you have them. You can pick them up at a health food store if not. You may also want to go to a chiropractor to get an adjustment to help your ears drain properly. Ear infections are not contageous, so your baby will be perfectly fine. Blessings!

I assume so. I nursed through a G I bug though we both had it. I just put a call into my Dr. The ear infection it self isn't contagious. You just have to ask about any medication though. I hope you feel better soon!

Yes, its still safe to nurse. I had at least 3 ear infections while I was nursing. Your doctor will probably give you ammoxacilin antibiotic, its safe to take while nursing you little one.

Keep on nursing, and call the dr in the morning to get an appointment. I've never tried Momofmany's remedies, but I have heard they work sometimes.
