Wouldn't think so: This is not an unusual event or one likely to do harm. The area would bleed with any tissue injury. The nose is pretty plastic at that age. I would try to relax & just give cuddles.

Nose: If baby is comfortable and there is no bleeding, she is likely fine. Aspirators are designed not to hurt infants and this sounds like typical use.

This is going to be a odd question but I have a booger stuck in my nose hair it hurts bad to pull it is it safe for me to pull it out is this normal to happen ?

Really odd question, but is it normal for boogers to move after you blow them out by of your nose? If I blow out a large snot ball I can videotape it for a few minutes and it'll visibly move. The movement is slow but it's multidirectional?
