High nose, big eyes has always been our traditional aesthetic standard, every parent wants their baby, male treasure handsome, female treasure handsome. Inevitably, many babies are born with collapsed noses, the more the mother is to see the more anxious, so the old generation of traditional methods used – pinch the bridge of the nose. So, pinching the bridge of the nose can really make the baby’s nose straight? Infant babies are collapsed nose, and the distance between the eyes is wider, coupled with baby fat, so the baby’s face is usually “full moon face”, the baby’s nose will appear extraordinarily collapsed, and even some of the nostrils will be facing the sky. After the baby is one year old, the fontanel begins to close, the facial bones begin to develop, the bridge of the nose gradually become high and straight. When the baby reaches the age of 7 or 8, when the permanent teeth are to be replaced, it will stimulate the nasal bone to expand rapidly in all directions, and the bridge of the nose will grow taller. And the height of the bridge of the baby’s nose and the shape of the nose is determined by genetic factors, and will not change because of external stimulation, and external stimulation can not make the child grow taller is the same reason, so pinch the bridge of the nose can not make the baby’s nose become more straight. What are the hazards of pinching the bridge of the baby’s nose? 1, induced otitis media The baby’s Eustachian tube is short, thick, straight, the position is lower than adults, pinching the baby’s nose may make nasal secretions through the Eustachian tube into the middle ear, causing otitis media. 2, habitual eye to eye When parents pinch the baby’s nose, the baby will subconsciously stare at the hand to see, both eyes at the same time to the inner side close. If this is the case for a long time, the muscles that turn the eyeballs inward will be very developed, while the muscles that turn outward are relatively weak, which will allow the baby to form habitual eye-to-eye. 3, damage to the baby’s nasal cavity The baby’s nasal bone is not fully developed, but also relatively soft, often pinch the baby’s nasal bone is very easy to cause damage to the baby’s nasal bone, and the mucous membrane inside the nose is congested, the baby’s nasal cavity defenses will be reduced, resulting in upper respiratory tract infections.
