A member asked:
Does pinching flat nasal bone in baby helps them to become pointed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Also babies in the first few months of life are obligate nose breathers meaning they have to breath through nose.Closing off a baby nose can cause respiratory distress and dangerous.Pinching the nose will not cause it to be more pointed.
