19 weeks and ear cartilage still soft?

My little boy was 19 weeks on Friday and I've just realised that his ear cartilage was supposed to harden weeks ago. But his ears are still so soft and flexible that they fold sometimes. It doesn't bother him at all. But does anyone know if this is something I should be concerned about?

Thank you.

I honestly didn't even know this was a thing, so I wouldn't worry to much about it. After your post I checked and my little ones ears are still fairly soft at 19 weeks too, they look like normal ears though so I'm sure they're fine. If your worried about them why not get your health visitor to have a look when you next go to a weigh in?

Not what you're looking for?
