When using baby nail clippers to cut the baby's nails, pay attention to the correct technique. Hold the baby's fingers firmly with the thumb and index finger of one hand, and hold the scissors with the other hand from one end of the nail edge along the natural curve of the nail. Cut the nails off.
The correct way to cut your baby's nails with nail clippers:
1. When trimming, firmly hold the baby's fingers with the thumb and index finger of one hand, and separate the finger to be cut from the other fingers. The other hand holds the scissors from one end of the nail edge and gently turns the scissors along the natural curve of the nail to cut the nail.
2. Do not make the scissors close to the tip of the nails, so as not to cut off the tender meat under the nails and cut the baby's fingers. Moreover, the nails should not be cut too bald or too deep, and there must be room to ensure the comfort of the baby's nails under the premise of hygiene. If the cut is too bald and too deep, the baby will feel pain.
3. When trimming, the action should be brisk, and it is best to shape it at one time. Repeated trimming will make the edges of the baby's nails angular and not smooth.
4. After cutting, touch it with your fingertips to check whether the nail edge is smooth. If there are square corners or sharp thorns, they should be trimmed in time.
5. If there is dirt under the nails, do not use the tip of a file or other sharp objects to clean them. You should clean them with water after cutting the nails to prevent infection.
6. Don't ignore your baby's toenails. Toenails grow slower than fingernails, but they also need to be checked regularly and trimmed in time, usually once every 2 weeks. Compared with fingernails cut into an arc shape, toenails should be cut into a "-" shape, which can prevent the baby's toenails from being embedded in the flesh.
