Are your babies' nails grow pretty fast? In my baby's case, they grow super quick as in over night! Most of the time she scratches her face and gets scratch marks. However, we don't want her to wear mittens again because she enjoys grabbing things now.

Babies should stop wearing mittens once they turn 4 weeks old. They have paper thin nails which are very sharp. The good thing is that their wounds heal extremely fast. Apply a bit of expressed breast milk on the wound to speed up healing. The best time to trim nails are right after a bath when the nails are at its softest, or when your baby is fast asleep. I use Pigeon nail scissors for infants as well. I used an infant nail clipper (Pigeon as well) before but realised it was way easier to use the scissors. Try to round the edges and file your baby's nails after trimming them. http://www.babycenter.com/0_how-to-trim-your-babys-nails_10027.bc

You can try trimming your baby’s nails. Do it after a bath when the nails are at their softest, or when they are sleeping. Use baby nail clippers to clip the nails or file them using an emery board. Here’s a video with a step-by-step guide on how to trim a baby’s nails: http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/video/how-to-trim-baby-fingernails

Yes! It ridiculous how fast their nails grow! I file his nails after using the nail clipper so that the edges of his nails are not sharp. Otherwise his face looks like he just got out from a fight lol

I am using this Pigeon brand nail cutter for newborns. It is very easy to use and will not hurt baby's fingers as it has the safety rounded tip.

thanks
