so what do you other mommies think about putting tubes in your child's ear. my son is 7 months, has had 4 ear infections since he's been born. his Dr sent us to a ear specialist and he suggested putting tubes in his ears and while he's in surgery they want to look at his adenoids and possibly shrink them because of his sinuses have been bad. I have no clue what I'm going to do and this summer will be his first and I don't want him to miss out on things with worrying about his tubes getting wet. should I wait atleast until he's a year old? I'm scared of putting my baby asleep.I know nothing about tubes I'm still researching them. you can tell I'm a ftm so any opinions?
