Can I pinch my baby's flat nose to make it taller?

Parents all hope that their children will grow up without any flaws and be very beautiful. After all, people are visual animals and they like beautiful and nice things very much. Many parents have found that their baby's nose is a bit flat. They have heard from the elderly that pinching the nose frequently can make the child's nose straighter. Can the baby's flat nose be pinched to make it higher? Parents are advised not to believe in rumors. It would be bad if the child is injured in the process of pinching the nose bridge.

The first thing we need to know is that an important factor that determines the height of the baby's nose is genetics. If the parents have flat noses, do you think it is possible to pinch the baby's nose to make it straight? If the parents' noses are straight, then when the baby grows up, the baby's nose will gradually become straighter. It is not because we pinch the baby well, but because of the baby's self-development, which causes their nose to become straighter and straighter.

At the beginning, it is normal for babies to have flat noses. This is because they are not fully developed in all aspects during infancy. When the baby grows up a little, the baby's nose bone will gradually develop, and then it will gradually become higher and straighter. It is definitely not something that can be straightened by pinching it with your hands. Everyone must pay attention. If we blindly believe these folk rumors, it may affect the baby's health! Moms, don't be stupid~

Parents who think pinching the nose is harmless should stop! Because pinching the baby's nose may cause permanent damage! For example:

1. Injury 1: Damage to the nasal cavity, aggravating the infection

There are abundant capillaries in the nasal cavity of infants and young children. If parents frequently pinch the baby's nose bridge, it is very easy to damage the nasal mucosa and cause blood vessel damage. Once invaded by bacteria or viruses, it will not only affect the baby's normal breathing, but also cause respiratory diseases.

2. Damage 2: Causes cross-eyedness

Although the baby's vision is not fully developed after birth. But when mom or dad pinches the baby's nose, at such a close distance, the baby will subconsciously look at your hand or resist your hand. In this way, the baby's nose bridge will not become straighter, but the baby will develop the habit of crossing his eyes or scratching his eyes.

The connection between the nasal cavity and the middle ear is called the Eustachian tube. When parents pinch their baby's nose, the secretions carrying bacteria in the nose may penetrate into the middle ear through the Eustachian tube and cause a middle ear infection.

4. Injury 4: Susceptible to local skin infection

The baby's skin is delicate and sensitive. Frequent external stimulation and parents' failure to clean their hands properly will cause infection of the skin on the bridge of the nose. Even if parents' hands are clean and hygienic, local pigmentation will still occur over time. This will not only fail to achieve a cosmetic effect, but will also make the baby's appearance ugly.
