how often do you cut your infants nails?

i do his nails almost every 2 days and toes once a week. i can't believe how fast they grow!

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

I hate cutting the nails I swear, I would rather change 100 dirty diapers than cut her nails, esp. the toe nails. THe fingernails I could do while she's nursing, but the toenails, she just won't sit still for, EVER (understandably, it must tickle!).

To answer your question: about the same as you for both fingers & toes.

I still take pre-natals b/c I nurse, and I've heard that can make their nails grow faster too (just like ours).

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

i have to do this all the time...some days the day after i cut them he still scratches his face

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

Im too scared to do.. i tried fileing finger nails, but she didnt like.. i never tried toes.. shes a month old so i just make sure her hands are covered with the mittens on the onesie.. Anyone want to cut them for me?

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

I cut her fingernails every other day.

Aly is 16 mths and I cut them 1x a week now but when she was younger it was every 3 days or so! Her toe nails, luckily, dont grow very fact and Ive only had to cut them like 1x a month!!!

I feel like I am constantly cutting her nails, filing didn't fly with her. I do it when she sleeps-so much easier!

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

Usually once a week.

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

ok well now at least i know i'm not just imagining the fast growing nails!

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

OMG- they grow like wild fire!! I swear I could file them everyday. I'm about to do every other day.

Her toenails haven't grown yet

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

Every 2-3 days. And it still doesn't seem to do the trick. I have to file on top of clipping to really get the sharp edges. DD is a big face-toucher so she would be scratched to pieces if I didn't.

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

I never do his toes!!!

his fingers - several times a week - its when I notice they are disgustingly long!!!

You mean the weekly battle of wills in our house

Dh cuts Gianna's once a week. 1 day for the left hand, 1 day for the right

Amelia's hers are still soft and they just peel off easily. I use a file on hers when they are sharp.

I do his nails once a week when he falls asleep. His toe nails I do like twice a month.

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

A lot. Every few days.

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

I never cut DD's nails, I just file them every 2-3 days.

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

About once a week. Sometimes a little more frequently.

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

I cut them maybe twice a week. I hate cutting them also. When she was first born i cut her finger and she started bleeding. After that i was petrified. I have the hang of it now, but its a battle. she is always moving around

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

about once a week or less for her fingers, less for her toes. I would do it more often when she was a newborn and would scratch herself, plus back then I could just do them while she was nursing.

Re: how often do you cut your infants nails?

Every weekend I have to clip them. I wish my grew that much!
