I begin playing with ears from a week of age. Shaving all the way down on both sides doing this weekly. At about 8 weeks of age I begin taping, by cutting out a form out of a file folder, or the outside of a check book cover. Or you can cut breath right strips. Adding surgical glue to the form and pressing onto the inside of the ear, placing as far down into the ear, but not obstructing the ear canal. Hold until dry.....leave on for 5 days, take off for 2. Repeat if necessary. This procedure may have to be repeated during teething.
