My baby keeps scratching his face leaving red scratch marks . I have trimmed and filed his nails but they are still sharp . Would like to ask what do you use to file and trim your baby's nails so that they are not sharp ?

When i cut yr lo fingernails, cut the siees 1st then the top. In this way, no sharp top liao. Pls also ensure that there isn't any sharp side edges too. If lo is still very young, you may want to put him or her on his or her mittens instead.

If your baby is still 0-3 months, let him wear a mitten even after cutting nails. After 3 months then take off the mittens, & let them explore/learn some motorskills.

hmm.. one of my friend uses a nail buffer to gently buff the tips to make it smoother. You can try that too. :)

I use scissors instead. Cos I'm afraid I might cut or hurt bb flesh
