I used to let baby wear mittens but he liked to touch his face and had lots of rashes and pimples. So i use baby scissors to cut baby's nail when he is sleeping. No more rashes but every 4-5 days need to trim.

You just have to keep trimming. May be good to invest in a electric nail trimmer. At 4 months old, babies shouldn’t wear mittens as they need to explore their surroundings and body with their hands.

Haha.. keep cutting. I just used the nail clipper, because baby pulled off the mittens in seconds. Babies drink so much milk so their nails grow quickly

Just have to trim regularly. At 4 months old, don't wear mittens for too long as they are learning to use their hands.

My baby stopped using mittens after end of my confinement and we cut her fingernails twice a week! Haha

trim nails regularly after 1 month i weaned off mittens during the day but wear at night

carry on cutting... mittens tend to fall off easily
