Baby Nails...How often to cut? Safe length to cut? Hi i have a 5 month old baby and facing real challenges with the rapidly growing nails. Issue - My child's keep hurting herself with the grown nails. I trim or file them every 5-6 days but the growth is tremendous. Her nails are sharp, I know this because I have been scratched by her multiple times and this led to bruising on my skin. I know it hurts me, but i am worried that it hurts her even more considering the delicate baby skin she has. Challenge - I trim her nails and file them every 5-6 days but I don't want to cut the nails too short as this may damage the shape of fingers. Also, cutting nails of an active baby like mine can be a real challenge and cutting them safely is extremely time consuming. Any suggestions?
