Ear and Nose Questions

• Ear Folded Over:The ears of newborns are commonly soft and floppy. Sometimes one of the edges is folded over. The outer ear will assume normal shape as the cartilage hardens over the first few weeks.
• Flattened Nose: The nose can become misshapen during the birth process. It may be flattened or pushed to one side. It will look normal by 1 week of age.
