Cutting nails

Babies are born with soft nails. However, they soon dry out, and babies can easily scratch themselves. When your baby is a few days old, smooth any rough edges with an emery board. Your baby’s naptime is a great time to smooth out finger or toenails. 

After a few weeks, use a small nail clipper or baby nail scissors.

Use an emery board to smooth out rough edges. Don't use clippers or scissors.
