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

I remember my mother doing that to me when I was younger (around 3 or 4 years old perhaps?). Apart from pinching my nose, she would also remind me not to frown to prevent winkles. Well, the latter sounds like good advice and also works well to stop me from sulking. With regard to the nose pinching, I do not think my nose got any sharper (then again, I could be too old for any changes to be "effective") but I remember taking it as a game and would pinch my own nose for fun. Personally, I don't think it will work and may even risk injuring the baby (as pointed out by Yuna). Also, there's an added risk of not knowing how the pinching will affect the shape of the nose (since I assume most of us are not plastic surgeons?). But, if you are keen to try, do practice caution in the amount of strength used when pinching the baby's nose.
