Parents were asked to complete a questionnaire on the occurrence of OM, Pacifier use, thumb sucking, and blanket sucking, feeding habits and also about parental smoking, parental educational level and occurrence and duration of day care attendance. Pearson Chi Square test was used for statistical analysis.Results: More than 75% of children were reported to have experienced one or more episodes of OM during their first two years of life. It was found that pacifier use, feeding habits, blanket sucking, day care attendance, parental smoking and parental educational level were significantly associated with the occurrence of OM.Conclusion: OM was a common disease during the first two years of life and significant association existed between OM and different SUCKING HABITS, day care attendance, parental smoking and parental education.
