Question Ears not up

At what age do I need to consider tapeing. Wyatt is almost 5 months and only one ear is up.For a week or so both were up at 4months then he started teething.The picture next to the slide is about three weeks ago when both were up.

It's not unusual for the ears to go up and down while teething. Conventional wisdom seems to be that if they were up prior to teething, (and boy were they - yowza, those are some conehead ears, LOL!) they should come back up again. If they're not up by the time he's done teething that's when I would think about taping.

They'll probably be ok.

Not unusual for the "tent" to collapse while teething.
