How often do you have to cut your babies nails?

Question

It seems our babies nails grow like weeds! I cut them every 3 days sometimes 4..or he will cut his little face..anyone else with a baby and fast growing nails? Or is this just a normal thing?

Answer 1

I have to clip Johnny's fingernails right around every 3 days.

Wanna know something weird????  I've never cut his toenails.  I don't know what's up with his toenails, but they just don't seem to grow.  Either that or he's wearing them off crawling, lol

Answer 2

I cut them every week or so but YES, they grow long very quickly!!

I wish mine grew that fast =]

God bless

Answer 3

idk..my boyfriends mom ends up doing it for me..and im glad for that because i dont like doing it.

Answer 4

I thought I'd maybe have to trim our daughter's nails once a week...HA...I do them every 2 days and have done that since birth. If I don't, her face will be all scratched up. She's almost 11 months and they still grow like weeds! Toenails are a different story-she can go weeks without needing those trimmed.

Answer 5

yeah! i wish my nails grew that fast!! I do it about once a week, though I should do it more, but I hate doing it and she doesnt sit still, making it ver hard

Answer 6

yeah, don't worry honey.  It's very common, my baby girl (11 months) has lovely long nails at the moment because my husband is in charge for a few weeks whilst i'm at work.  When I am with her, i'm always picking at them!!  :o)

Answer 7

i cut his nail every other day.. they do grow super fast..it's all that milk they drink.lol

Answer 8

same here. i do it a couple times a week. i have a hard time trimming them all in one sitting too.  she wiggles way too much. once i accidently clipped a chunk of her skin out so now I do it slower and more carefully, which means i can only do a few fingers in one sitting.  

Answer 9

Same as you, every few days.  They do grow awfully fast, but I only have to clip her toenails about once a month.

Answer 10

I have to do it about once a week. I learned this the hard way after seeing him with a huge scratch on his forehead.

Answer 11

a couple times a week

Answer 12
