Bat ears run in the family – do I need any special advice?
• If bat ears do tend to run in the family, we recommend immediate splintage at birth for two weeks whether or not the child has any evidence of the problem. • About 30% of children who develop bat ears look normal for the first three months, and by this time, the splints must be worn for longer to take effect. • The success of Ear Buddies kits on ears of children of bat-eared families may be partly because parents have suffered teasing themselves in the past, and are particularly dedicated to splintage.
