My dd is 3 months and I am asked to shape her features like raising nose and pressin on lip area.....is it really required or even work? Pls share your thoughts and real life experiences

No, there is little evidence to show that doing all that will shape your baby's features. I've heard so many stories of parents or grandparents pinching noses or even using pegs to make baby's nose sharper. In my opinion, it is ridiculous and according to experts, you may end up hurting your baby if you pinch her nose continuously or if you pinch it too hard. It will take anywhere from a week to a few months for your baby's nasal bridge to develop fully. Pinching her nose may affect this process. In extreme cases, her nose may be damaged requiring surgery. Best to let your baby's features develop naturally.
