Generally speaking, newborn babies can cut their nails, baby nails too long may scratch themselves, if the newborn nails are long or scratching or nail breakage, you can promptly cut the nails, if the baby nails are not very long can wait for the baby to grow up a little before cutting. To cut the nails of newborns to pay attention to the following points: (1) choose the right time to cut the nails: because newborn babies do not move around to cooperate, so it is best to cut the nails of babies when they are asleep or quiet, to prevent cutting newborns. (2) Choose the right nail clippers or nail clippers for your baby. (3) nail clipping posture: baby lying flat on the bed, mother support leaning on the side of the bed (with arms fixed to ensure that the hands are stable), holding the baby’s small hands close to the mother’s side, the best requirements can be the same direction, the same angle (so that it is not easy to cut too deep and hurt the baby). Or the mother sits and holds the baby on her body so that her back is against the mother, and then also holds one of the baby’s little hands in the same direction. (4) The way to hold hands: Separate the baby’s five fingers and focus on squeezing one of the fingers to cut. Cut one for the other. It is best not to grab a row of nail clippers at the same time, so that the baby suddenly a row of fingers moving together, the force is not easy to control, and also easy to let the scissors accidentally hurt other nails. (5) Clean dirt: For some dirt hidden in the nails, it is best to clean up with cleaning after trimming, should not use hard objects to pick. (6) Avoid “ingrown nails”: The corners on both sides of the nail should not be cut too deep, otherwise the nail will easily be embedded in the soft tissue and become “ingrown nails”. The nail can damage the skin around the nail, causing a purulent infection of the subcutaneous tissue, leading to nail fungus or other inflammatory diseases. Usually the baby’s nails grow faster, so parents can usually cut the baby’s nails 1-2 weeks.
