Dyk babies can only breathe through their nose. Xx

That's not true; at 3 weeks old my LO had a cold and her nose was totally blocked, but she was breathing through her mouth

I also heard that babies don't cry tears until a few months or up to a year old, but both my LOs hve had real tears since birth
