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
