One of my little guys has a red and irritated thumb. It looks like there's the tiniest bit of yellow right where the nail meets the skin. The pedi's office was already closed when I noticed it. Can babies get ingrown fingernails?
I don't know if babies can get ingrown nails...but that's sure what it looks like. Do you have any Epsom salts? Put some in a little bowl of warm water and soak his little finger. It couldn't hurt!
Yes! That's exactly what happened to my LO! I was going to make a post about it! I left it alone, even though it was red, and it seems fine now. But now the finger next to it is going through the same thing! Argh! Apparently i can't cut baby fingernails... What are we supposed to do?! If we don't cut them they scratch their face, but if we do, then now they get ingrown nails!
Am I the only one who's not cut their babies nails yet? She is 8weeks3days now..... Hers just seem to peel off.... They're so thin I've not touched the clippers yet!
