Abegail & her Son

"My baby was around 3 months old when the shape of his ears started to change due to sleeping position. It got folded repeatedly and started to stick out and looked more pointy rather than round. I know I had to do something before it was too late. I made some research and found out about the EarBuddies from hospital here in the Netherlands. They recommend the use of EarBuddies for newborn babies with misshaped or deformed ears. With confidence, I decided to purchase the EarBuddies.

My first splinting was a bit of a challenge since my baby moves alot and grabs his ears. Splinting his ears while he’s sleeping was so much easier. Don’t forget to use the barrier film and make sure it’s dry before applying the tape. After 2.5 months of splinting, I was the happiest mom. All of our efforts to keep the ears clean and dry paid off. One of the best decisions I ever made. We are forever thankful to EarBuddies.

I am happy to hear that our story will be published on the website. I hope it will help other parents who are still not 100% sure in trying the EarBuddies. As I mentioned in my story, a hospital here in Netherlands (Isala) recommends the use of EarBuddies. A plastic surgeon from University Medical Center in Utrecht conducted a study about EarBuddies by using the product to newborn babies for a period of 6 weeks and saw promising results in just short span of time. It is truly a great product and we are forever thankful to the wonderful people behind this invention."
