I know just how you feel. I spent so much time worrying about Tiki's ears the first few months, it was ridiculous. When they were down, I loved the floppy look, and hoped they would stay that way. Then one came up, but not just straight up, it was up & toward the middle (that's what I called the unicorn), and the other still down. Eventually that one stood up properly but the other one came up but outward at a 90 degree angle, it looked like a turn signal. Finally, both stood up, and like I said they are big; I've never cut the hair off them cause hers is thin, so we are going for big beautiful "angel wing" ears now, ha ha. Mind you, this all happened over many months, and she is now only 8 months old. I think it stabilized around 6-7 months when she finished teething.
As far as taping, I never did, but there was a thread here about using Dr. Scholls moleskin tape, I'll try to post the link here:
