"I am writing to let you know how successful your EarBuddies splints have been with my young son. When Howard was born, I noticed his ear was rather crumpled, but put it down to a difficult delivery. Weeks went by and the ear remained the same and although nobody else, i.e. doctor, midwife or health visitor, mentioned it, I thought the ear not quite right.
I remembered an article I had read in a magazine called 'You and Your Baby', and I took it to show my doctor at my six week check. He referred my son to a plastic surgeon, but said it wouldn't hurt to try the EarBuddies. I sent off for the pack and started fixing them onto my son's ear when he was seven weeks old.

I went to see the plastic surgeon when my son was 10 weeks old and the EarBuddies already seemed to be working. He asked me to come back in two more months so I did. My son was then four and a half months old and his ear was perfect.
Before EarBuddies at 7 weeks old
After EarBuddies at 4.5 months old
My son is now eighteen months old and his ear has stayed in its new shape. I am very grateful for your help and have informed my doctor and health visitors about EarBuddies so that others can make use of them.
