Answers to: Will my baby's ear stick out when he's older?<p>One of my baby's ears always folds whenever he turns his head, is feeding on that one side, or is sitting in the carseat. It's unavoidable... It already sticks out a bit more than the other ear- Will this constant folding cause it to stick out permanently when he's older?</p>enFri, 04 Dec 2009 00:47:39 -0500Answer by Sabrina<p>My neighbor's 2yr old son has an ear that sticks out. He was turned down in the birth canal very early and so they think it was the pressure from that that made it stick out more than normal. His mom wished they would have taped it when he was younger, now they have to wait until he's 3yrs old to do surgery. But yes I agree, I'm sure your doctor will be able to better determine this.</p>SabrinaFri, 04 Dec 2009 00:47:39 -0500 by lgritz<p>I hate to give a non-answer, but this sounds to me like a great question for your pediatrician. I'm not sure you're going to get a useful answer (even with references) from somebody who isn't a doctor and hasn't actually seen your child's ear.</p>lgritzThu, 03 Dec 2009 18:08:32 -0500
