Stephanie, thank you for the advice, I printed it out to give to my daughter, all advice is excepted at this point. My daughter does work outside of the home part-time, so my grandson is with me at those times. He takes the bottle when with me. We have been told by the Dr. that because he has such chubby cheeks, she thinks that it causes the sinus tubes to be smashed down and not being allowed to drain correctly, so it drains back into his ears. The Dr. said that as he slims down in the face from crawling and then walking, he will lose some of the face weigh and then the problem will correct its-self, we sure hope so. As far as sleeping, he never gets down into a deep sleep. Heather has nursed Sean since birth and is a very good mother but is just running out of energy. Heather doesn't let him cry very much at night because her husband works swing-shift at a mill and he has to get up at 5 am himself. We will see if any of your suggestions work. Thank you again for the effort.
