Nail trimming for a 2-month-old baby?

In 2-month-old babies, nails grow very quickly and are thin, razor-sharp; babies can scratch their faces. The best way to cut nails is not straight but following the natural curve of the nail; be careful not to cut the fingertip as well. Ideal timing is when the baby is sleeping or nursing quietly. You can use baby nail scissors or a file—regular scissors are riskier. If the fingertip turns red or bleeds, gently press with clean cotton; most cases stop within seconds. If the nail becomes ingrown or shows signs of inflammation (redness, swelling, discharge), consult your pediatrician.
