Hello all
I'm new here so please do move this if it is in the wrong place.
Sticking out ears run in my family - Both my brothers had theirs pinned back when they were around 10 years old and both had been teased beforehand. From what I remember though it was rather uncomfortable and painful for them. My little boy has unfortunately inherited it as well, but also one sticks out significantly more where the 'crease' in his ear hasn't formed properly.
If they were I would maybe wait longer and see if it fixes itself, but it sticks out so much that when he turns his head he folds it over in his sleep so I think it is only going to get worse.
I have seen a few things on the internet about 'ear buddies' which work like splints to shape the ear. DS is just 3 months so there is time to try them as a painless way of trying to correct it now. I can't help but think he will thank me later...
So my question is, has anyone used these recently (I have seen some threads on here but they looked quite old) and does anyone know where I might be able to get some? Obviously if there is no option I would get them from the makers, but they are quite expensive and I'd be fine with getting some secondhand ones and sterilising them.
Many thanks in advance.
