BABY GROOMING - All about Nail care
Nails are one of the mediums through which infections can seep into the body.
It is always advisable to check baby nails now and then to see if they have grown.
Once the nail grows it can start accumulating dirt, especially if your baby is crawling.
Precautions should be taken to keep the floors clean once baby starts crawling since the dust could accumulate in nails.
When you massage your baby before bath, massage their nails as well. This will improve the blood circulation to keep nails healthy.
Keep a watch to see if there is any change in nail colour. If you notice any please reach out to your paediatrician.
It is always advisable to cut baby nails after bath. This is because the nails would be a little damp making it a little softer to cut.
Always use a baby nail cutter, do not use the one that is being used by the others in the house.
Make note of below
If baby is biting nails , try to stop this habit when they start doing it.
Please don't not encourage putting nail polish to kids even aged 7-10. This is certainly not the age these habits should be encouraged. I've seen parents doing this to stop them from biting nails.
Some kids have the habit of peeling skin around the nail. This could be very painful and is not to be encouraged as well.
