Can pinching the baby's nose really straighten?
First of all, the unscientific place is that the baby's nose and even the five senses depend largely on the parents' genes. Even if it changed later, it was influenced by factors such as whether it was well developed, whether it had been traumatized or even had plastic surgery.
In addition, before the baby 1 year old, the phenomenon of nose collapse is actually quite common, so mothers don't have to worry too much.
When the baby is 1 to 1 year and a half, the front fontanel will close and the bones of the face and nose will start to grow rapidly. At this time, you will find that the baby's nose is beginning to stand up gradually. Moreover, the development of nasal bone will last until adolescence before it can be slowly formed.
Therefore, there is no scientific basis for pinching your nose to stand up. Some of them are more psychological effects of parents.
What harm can pinching the baby's nose do?
Damage the baby's nasal mucosa
The baby is still young, delicate everywhere, and compared with adults, the baby's nasal cavity is short, the posterior nasal meatus is narrow, the nasal mucosa is very fragile, and the resistance to the outside world is low.
Often pinching your baby's nose will affect your baby's breathing. Secondly, if adults use too much force or improper force, it is likely to damage the baby's nasal mucosa and blood vessels.
It is easy to cause otitis media and other diseases.
Visible to the naked eye, the nose is one of the organs connecting the body with the outside world and plays an important role in life. The nose can not only prevent the bacteria in the air from entering the human body, but also filter and moisten the air about to enter the human body, effectively blocking the invading bacteria and viruses.
Because the baby's nasopharynx tube is lower and shorter than that of adults. If you pinch your baby's nose often, bacteria and secretions in your baby's nose will enter the middle ear through the eustachian tube, which will cause otitis media.
The tip of the nose, the lateral wall of the alar and the alar are only supported by cartilage. Long-term massage and stimulation may indeed change their shape, but it has nothing to do with the height of the bridge of the nose. The height of the bridge of the nose is determined by the protruding degree of the maxilla and nasal bone, which is natural and difficult to change by external force.
When will the baby's nose take shape?
1- 1.5 years old. After the front fontanel of the baby was closed, the baby's facial bones and nasal bones began to grow faster, and the bridge of the nose slowly grew out. The change of nasal bone will continue to develop into adolescence.
