James & his Son

"Our son, O, was born with stick out ears. It wasn't extreme, and we weren't sure whether to do anything about it, but when a family member shouted "Look at those!" when seeing him the first time over Skype, we decided that most other people must have been too shy to say anything.

We found EarBuddies online, and since O was still only three weeks old, we decided to try them while the wearing period was still short. We didn't even bother using the hat, and we were surprised at how little we were asked about his ears while splinted – with friends, doctors and anyone else, we usually brought it up ourselves if at all.

Splinting was fiddly but not too hard, and we found it best to do while breastfeeding. For us, each fix lasted about 10 days, and re-fixing the EarBuddies was pretty easy having done it before already. We did have to get extra tape to see out the full term, as breastfeeding meant it would take an extra 25%.

We're happy with the results and we'll never look at his ears the same way again!"
