Abstract
A mother of a 4 month baby asks about the possible effects of stopping breastfeeding and the incidence of otitis. A clinicalquestion is posed, the search strategy is described, and the most relevant paper is summarized. In that prospective study,which evaluated the development of acute otitis media and acute otitis media with effusion, authors conclude that formulafeeding appears to increase otitis risk between 3 to 12 months of age. Though the evidence is not conclusive, this and otherstudies, suggest that breastfeeding is beneficial regarding otitis incidence.
