Baby nails

My baby is 11 weeks old. I have cut her nails so that I can wean off mittens but her nails are still sharp enough to scratch her face. What can I do? Use an emery board? but her nails are quite soft still.

Hello there. Initially i was like you too! Wanted my baby not to wear mittens as he can explore more on his own and touch things but i encountered the same thing as you. He will wake up every morning with new scratch on his face. Their nails are so tiny and yet sharp. I just put on his mittens back till he turned 3 months old. I felt that it was easier for me to trim his nails once he was 3 months old as i was able to get in the corners and trim it nicely.
