baby nostrils?

The appearance of a baby's nostrils is usually not a cause for concern. In newborns and small babies, the nostrils are narrow and delicate; they naturally widen as the baby grows. In some babies, one nostril may appear slightly narrower than the other — this is usually temporary and no problem if the baby's breathing isn't blocked. The main thing to watch for is mucus buildup inside the nose; since babies must breathe through their noses, congestion can affect feeding and sleep. If there's notable asymmetry of the nostrils, signs of breathing difficulty while sleeping (nostril flaring), wheezing sounds, or feeding trouble, it's worth consulting a pediatrician.
