My son is 9 months old and his ears stick out. We have heard that ear buddies are an possible non-invasive way to make them stick out less, but that 9 months is rather late to start using them. I wondered if anyone had any experience of Ear Buddies (particularly at this late stage) and whether they worked.
My husband and I are very torn about whether to try this or not. We feel our son is beautiful and aren't really bothered about his ears, but a few people have commented on them and we are starting to worry that he might be teased when he goes to school. Basically, we don't want to regret not trying something when he was a baby that might have avoided teasing when he's older, but nor do we want to put him through having surgical tape and splints on his ears for four months if it's unlikely to work at 9 months.
Any experiences/advice would be very welcome. Many thanks.
