I originaly posted this thread about six weeks ago. and let me tell you it is a long and frustrating process, but if you want your babies ears to stand so worth it in the end! it took me 5 weeks to get them to stand (starting when he was 12 weeks old). i would shave and tape every week. As for clippers i am a stylist so i brought home my trimmers, they are the very small clippers for detailed work. i used no guard, but because i use them every day for work i was confident that i wouldnt cut him so i would probably suggest using the smallest guard. i would tape the base of the ear so they stood straight up on his head like an alien or something. it was so embarassing walking him but ppl always seemed to know what was going on, 'getting his ears done?' they would say. i would leave the tape on for 3-4 days in the first couple weeks. then after that only for 1-2 days as they needed it.
