Those with ears had better hear

A quick word to the wise: anytime your child has an ear infection, don't use antibiotics.  Instead, just use Wally's Ear Oil¹!  Anytime Lucia has an ear infection — or we think she's about to have one — we just drop a bit of the oil in each ear (and gently plug it with part of a cotton ball), and it works wonders.  My father–in–law remembers his mother doing the same thing when he was a child (with olive oil), and said it had an immediate soothing effect.  I know Lucia likes it, because as soon as I do this, she stops moaning and sort of scratches her ears. So save a few bucks and go natural!
