Start by shaving hair off tiny ears....you may not ever need to tape them.....but it could easily take them until they are 10-14 weeks before they stand erect. You can usually see them getting higher and higher, where just the tips are flopped over....in those cases I have not had to tape at all....they will stand erect. If moms ears never stood erect, and it was because her ear leather was too thick, your baby's ears may not ever stand erect, even with taping. If I can see ears are not even beginning to try to get up, then when around 8-10 weeks old, I may start taping....I keep my babies until they are 14 weeks old so I can wait longer to tape ears....I like for ears to go up without me taping if possible. |
