How to use a baby nail file?

The baby nail file is one of the most important baby care accessories, along with round-tipped scissors or baby nail clippers.

  • At birth, your baby's fingernails and toenails are already well-formed.
  • We recommend waiting until your baby is one month old before giving them their first mani-pedi.
  • If your baby scratches during the first few weeks, file their nails softly with a baby-friendly nail file.
  • Choose a glass or cardboard nail file with a soft grit, available at drugstores.
  • File your baby's nails when they're calm or asleep.

Suggestion from a FTM, if you’re TERRIFIED of cutting your lo nails I highly recommend getting a small nail file for them. I got it off Amazon and he doesn’t mind it at all whether he’s awake or sleeping.
