️ How to trim baby's nails without any drama
Trim or file only the free nail edge when needed; a universal one-month ban is not appropriate.
Action plan
1. What to prepare
Choose good light and a calm moment. Use an infant nail file or infant scissors, keeping skin clear of the edge.
2. What to check
Do not bite or tear nails. Apply gentle pressure to a small nick; seek advice for persistent bleeding or signs of infection.
