From REVOLUTIONHEALTH.COM : "Ear infections are among the most common illnesses of early childhood. Three out of four children have had at least one ear infection by age 3, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
Major risk factors for ear infections include:
  • Feeding position . Babies who drink from a bottle while lying down tend to have more ear infections than do babies who are held upright during feedings."
 
From MEDLINEPLUS.COM: "Prevention: Although certain factors associated with the development of ear infections can't be changed (such as family history of frequent ear infections), there are certain lifestyle choices that can minimize the risk of children developing ear infections:"
  • If a child is bottle-fed, holding the infant at an angle rather than allowing the child to lie down with the bottle is best."

From WIKIPEDIA.ORG: " Children below the age of seven years are much more prone to otitis media since the Eustachian tube is shorter and at more of a horizontal angle than in the adult ear. They also have not developed the same resistance to viruses and bacteria as adults. Numerous studies have correlated the incidence of acute otitis media in children with various factors such as nursing in infancy, bottle feeding when supine, parental smoking, diet, allergies, automobile emissions, and other factors."
