Will baby's nose change shape with time?

Question

I know this is probably a dumb question: My bb is 9 months old, and it's pretty obvious now that he got my nose which is the least attractive feature on my face. My nose is short, with little bridge, and the tip is upward tilted which gives me a very immature, childish look. It's even too weak for a girl, I wonder how much worse it'll be for my baby boy.

My question is: For those moms whose sons look after them, did your baby boy's nose masculinzied when he grows up, even he got his mom's nose? Or is it possible that at some stage their daddy's gene will kick in and alter the shape of their girly nose?

This has been troubling me for 9 months. Thanks for reply.

Answer 1

Masculinzied : P lol (sorry)

When my sister and I were born we looked like our father, but when we got older (like 4-5 years) we looked exactly like our mother. Our noses and our eyes changed.. You might be able to look in your own baby book and see if you can tell a difference with your own nose and other features as to what they look like now.

Answer 2

I think that you are way too concerned about your looks. At this point you are saying that your son isn't perfect and beautiful the way he is. If you think your nose is ugly then you're are telling your son that he is ugly because of his nose. How can you expect your children to have a good self image if you don't? You are an example for your kids.

My oldest daughter has my husbands ears that stick out and my ears are a little big. So she has will smiths ears but worse. THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! And so is she!!!

Love your child and love yourself

My son is 3 yo and has my nose.  I have a wide flat nose (that I have always hated) and he has the same one.  My mom would massage my nose as an infant to make it "pointier".  I guess it worked because my nose is not as pronounced as my Dad's nose (his nose is super flat and wide).  I think noses are something you are stuck with, unless your opt for plastic surgery.
