So I've tried to remain patient, but I'm getting nervous about our boy'a ears. He was born May 10, so he was 5 months on October 10 - he's 23 weeks tomorrow. His ears have done some up and down, and one is doing pretty well thought it lays on his head most of the time. The other has gone up in the past but now it usually just flops over and has developed a fold. His canines aren't fully in, though they're more than halfway Id say, and he did lose a tooth last week.
We tried molefoam on that ear last week, but it was too heavy for the ear, and didn't really hold it up - just kind of stuck out to the side. As it was coming off, it actually held the ear down more I think. All of his siblings' ears are up, as are his parents and all ancestors we know of. He gets gelatin and lots of marrow bones. Sometimes they will both be up during play/when he wakes up.
We're not sure what to do at this point. We can't get breathe right strips here. We got a similar product, but they're shorter and not as strong. We haven't used them yet since the ear is a little red from taking the foam out. We also considered gluing the ears together.
Am I jumping the gun - should I leave them alone? Does gluing together or using the nose strips sound like a better idea? Did we mess it up even more with the mole foam? It was on for less than a week.
I'm attaching a picture showing them both up a few weeks ago when he was staying at my mother in laws (they were up most of the time he was there, maybe because he was less relaxed?) and a pic from today showing them down.
