My son is 6 month old and 8 out of 10 toenails have never needed cut.?

Question

I cut his finger nails when every week, and his big toenails when they need it, but the other toenails do not look long enough to cut.
My question is: Are the nails there but just ingrown?, I ask his dr but he does not really look, and he tells me they are fine.

Answer 1

My son is seven months old and i have only cut his big toe nails also. I cut his fingernails every week. I guess in time the toe nails will grow. Thank god they dont grow quick because i dont know if i could hold him still to cut them.

Answer 2

When my son was born the hospital cut his toe nails too short. All 10 of them bled really bad. I was irate that they cut them that short. He is now almost 3 and his toe nails will not grow. His big toe nails will only grow to the middle of his toe. The others will grow but them break off into the quick. The Dr. says that it is just the effects of the hospital cutting them too short and that hopefully he will out grow it sometime. Sometimes they are extremely painful for him and other times it seems OK. I would think back to when he was born and if you noticed if they were cut really short (most parents probably didn't b/c they were so happy about their new baby) I wouldn't have noticed if he hadn't been bleeding an had a band aid on EVERY toe. If not then just consider yourself lucky. I hate clipping my child's nails.

Answer 3

I have two sons, and their toe nails grow considerably slower than their fingers nails. I usually cut their finger nails twice a week, and their toenails about once a month, if that.

To check if they're ingrown, look at the skin around the toenails. Is it red and puffy looking? Do the nails grow down INTO the skin, or can you slide your fingernails underneath them?

actually, i could in basic terms bypass with the bypass. that often seems to artwork with Noah extra useful than battling with him over it. There are additionally 3 particular reasons as to why Noah's drowsing trend is going out of whack: a million) Teething 2) enhance spurt 3) New progression needless to say there is often ailment yet i'm specific you could have found out that by ability of now. precise now Noah is going by way of a sort of ranges. His naps are shorter(40 5 minutes-an hour) and he wakes almost immediately after being positioned down. he's getting a molar in, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that(ultimately felt the tip of it immediately) yet he's likewise engaged on strolling. If a bottle, even some oz., facilitates your little guy then i don't see any injury in permitting it. For naps i could in basic terms feed and rock him to sleep. it is tough, i understand, because of fact they can't assist you already know precisely what's faulty. save attempting numerous issues, I wager it won't final better than a pair of weeks.
