Baby's nails grow at an average rate of 0.7 cm per week. If they are not trimmed in time, they are easy to harbor dirt and breed bacteria, becoming a source of infection for diseases; when babies scratch themselves, their long nails can easily scratch their delicate skin; baby's fingernails (toenails) are thin and soft, and long nails are easy to break, and in severe cases, they may hurt the skin of the fingers.
So, how often should nails be trimmed?
Generally speaking, fingernails should be trimmed 2-3 times a week, while toenails grow more slowly, generally trimmed 1-2 times a month. Of course, the situation of each baby is different. The appropriate length of fingernails (toenails) is that the top of the fingernails (toenails) is flush with the top of the fingernails (toes) or slightly shorter.
Let the baby lie flat on the bed, and the mother leans on the edge of the bed (fix with arms to ensure the stability of the hand), hold the baby's hand close to the mother's side, and it is best to be in the same direction and angle, so that it is not easy to trim too deep and hurt the baby. The mother can also sit and hold the baby on her body, with his back against the mother, and hold one of the baby's hands in the same direction to trim his nails. It is best to choose a special nail clipper for the baby to trim.
Trim the middle first, then trim the two ends. Because it is easier to control the trimming length and avoid cutting the corners too deep. Separate the baby's five fingers, pinch one of them to trim, and change one after trimming. It is recommended not to hold a row of fingers to trim at the same time, so as to avoid the baby's sudden movement and difficulty in control, and it is easy to accidentally hurt other fingernails.
After trimming on both sides, the nails may be cut into sharp corners. Be sure to trim these sharp corners to avoid them becoming "murder weapons" that scratch the baby. The mother can use her own fingers to touch the edge of the baby's little nails for a circle and check once. If there are protruding sharp corners, remove them in time.
Discover and deal with the thorns on the baby's nails in time. Do not pull them out directly by hand to avoid pulling too much and hurting the surrounding skin tissue. Please carefully cut the roots of the thorns with scissors. For some dirt hidden in the nails, it is best to clean them by washing after trimming the nails. It is not advisable to use hard needles to remove them.
The corners on both sides of the nails should not be cut too deep, otherwise the growing nails will easily embed into the soft tissue and become "ingrown nails". "Ingrown nails" will damage the skin around the nails, cause suppurative infection of the subcutaneous tissue, and cause paronychia or other inflammation.
