Tips for cutting a baby’s nails
To avoid scratches on the face
There is a myth that a baby’s fingernails will become sharper if you trim them however the truth is somewhat different, if you trim the nails with the help of electric trimmer and file them properly they will not become sharp. To avoid your baby from scratching the face and eyes trim the baby’s nails regularly. While cutting the fingernails remember not to go past the end of the fingers.
To avoid covering the baby’s hands
Some parents cover the baby’s hands with a mitten or other such clothing’s to avoid trimming of nails, some of them even put socks of the hands of their babies but you can’t do that forever because as soon as the baby starts using their hands it will be impossible for you to keep the mittens on their hands so you will eventually have to start trimming the nails. It is good for the healthy development of the baby to see the hands, suck on them, open and closes the hands, feel different textures, and explores things. So try to keep the hands uncovered and trim the nails with safe electric trimmer for safe and easy trimming.
Don’t use an adult’s nail trimmer
It is unsuitable to use an adult’s nail trimmer for trimming the nails of a baby. You may tear the skin or nails too deeply while using an adult nail trimmer. An adult nail trimmer contains germs of all kinds and we are already aware that babies are sensitive so avoid the use of adult trimmers for the babies.
How to trim baby’s fingernails?
Use baby-sized trimmers
Whenever you are about to trim the nails of a baby always use baby-sized trimmers or clippers, avoid the use of adult nail trimmer. The baby-sized trimmers have blunt ends made especially for this purpose.
Trim the baby’s nails while he is asleep
The best time to trim a baby’s nails is when he is sleeping. When a baby is asleep he has minimum movements and you will be able to cute the nails safely. When your baby is in a deep sleep stage then use an electric nail trimmer for babies and gently open the fingers and cut the nails.
Choose a time when the baby is relaxed
If your baby sleeps too little or gets startled during sleep then choose a time when your baby is relaxed, usually after taking a bath or feeding a baby is in good mood then you can easily trim the nails, other than that always start trimming the baby’s nails when he’s fit is open and loose and not clenched.
Go for a trimmer with built-in light
Never cut the baby’s nails if the light is not sufficient. You may opt for day time to trim the nails because during the day there is enough light or you should go for electric nail trimmers for babies with a built-in light to help you see better and safely trim the nails of your baby.
Find a helper
If your child is making trouble while you try to trim the nails then get help from a fellow adult. The other person could distract the baby by singing or talking to him. Try to avoid using toys while you trim the baby’s nails because the child might try to reach for the toys and person arm and leg windmilling thing that the babies do when they are excited.
Use both of your hands
Use both the hands while trimming the baby’s fingernails, use one hand to push away the finger pad so it may not come in between while clipping the nails. This method is easier to use if you have a helper around.
Don’t over trim the nails.
When you are cutting your baby’s nails remember not to go too short. It is easier to give a quick tear to the baby’s finger when you try to cut too close. Trim your baby’s nails every twice or thrice a week rather than cutting the nails too short.
Types of nail trimmers for babies
Clippers
This tool has a curve that makes it easier to trim the baby’s nails. You should select the right side of the nail clipper. If you choose the clipper that is too big so then it will become easy to catch the fingers of a baby and if you choose the one that is too small then the curve won’t fit the baby’s fingers. The clippers may come with add on magnifying glass and lights.
Some parents find it easier to trim the nails with the help of a nail scissor. The nail scissors for babies have blunt ends and using them isn’t as scary as using the ones that you use for yourself.
Files and Emery Boards
You can also file the baby’s nails as it is an alternative to cutting the nails. Those babies whose nails are sensitive the filer may not work and if the nails are long it may take forever to file. What you can do is trim the nails using a trimmer and later file the nails for making the edges even.
Electric nail trimmers
The innovative trimmers that are used these days are the electric trimmers. These trimmers are powered by batteries and contain tiny discs of a sandpaper-type material to quickly and easily trim down baby’s nails. The electric nail trimmer has several grits and multiple speeds so that you can customize the trimming of nails as per your wish. These devices are slightly more expensive than simple trimmers but these are worth it because these decrease the chances of tearing the fingers.
