Manicure for children

Many babies are born with long-legged nails, not only do they look ugly, they can also hurt a child during games or sleep. Furthermore? it's against hygiene rules, because dirt collects under the fingernails. The first manicure of a crumb should be done immediately after birth, so be sure to bring your scissors with you to the hospital. In babies, the nails grow fast enough, and how fast, it depends on several factors: the balance of nutrition of the mother, the intensity of metabolism, the speed of blood circulation, and so on, so at first you need to cut their hair often - about twice a week, at least.

Cut your nails correctly

This procedure has its own rules and nuances - you need to cut your marigolds by chamfering the corners, and on the legs - in a straight line to avoid ingrowing. It is best to do this after water procedures (bathing).

Do a manicure for the baby, best of all with separate scissors, which will have rounded ends, you can use tweezers that are designed for newborns. Many parents do the manicure with the same scissors they use themselves, but it is necessary to know that the main thing is that they are sharp.

It is much more convenient to cut your nails together when a mother feeds her baby or just somehow distracts her, and her dad shears. Samuladoshku and baby's finger should be firmly held with one hand, and the other, respectively, cut the nail. Be especially careful, because because of the discomforts the baby can not immediately fall in love with this business and then will always resist.

If the baby resists

While your child is very tiny, cutting his hair will not be difficult and a problem. Most importantly - do it slowly and with the utmost care and accuracy. When a baby grows up, it will be more difficult to make a manicure, because it will treat the process more consciously. Many babies do not like to cut their nails, even though it's not fair. Do not scold or force the child to do it, the best thing is using a few tweaks:

1. A great time for a manicure, when he sleeps or just wakes up and is in a good mood. Begin to cut the marigolds about a half an hour after he falls asleep. If the child has moved, stop and if necessary wait a bit, if necessary, shake it. If it's warm outside, then you can cut the marigolds right on the street.
2. You can do a manicure with a baby, show him that it's absolutely scary and does not hurt.
   
3. Make a fascinating interesting game from the usual manicure, and the girls can be offered to put on the fingers with beautiful and neat nails of the ringlet or make up the nails with a bleach.
   
4. Older children are invited to play in the "Hairdresser", cut the nail, and then the child. You can even buy a special toy set or use the mother.
   
5. During the procedure, distract the crumbs with rhymes or songs.

Burrs

Little babies always touch everything with their hands, because of this, they often have fangs. At kids the skin is very thin, therefore it is easily wounded and is injured. To save the child from the burrs, do to him a hot manicure. Nogotki need to moisten in a special warm lotion, thanks to which you can easily, quickly and painlessly remove burrs, give the skin elasticity, soften the inflammation, and also moisten and nourish the delicate skin of the child. After such a procedure burrs, cracks and traumas will disturb the crumb much less. The odor of lotion is very pleasant, so it will be very pleasant to the baby. You do not need to trim the dentists yourself, it's better to consult a specialist. After that, remove the burrs, a few days, lubricate the baby's handles with baby cream, so the injuries will heal faster.

Fingers in the mouth

Usually, they all try to "tooth". Often in the mouth and the own fingers of the baby. As a result, many babies begin to gnaw their nails. This habit is very dangerous and harmful to a small organism, besides the sight is not very beautiful. How can we cope with this problem? It is possible, as in the old days, to spread a finger on your child's fingers with mustard, and you can do it in a different way. Cover the marigold with a special baby lacquer, it's bitter, just against nibbling.

What can children do, and what can not?

At a children's manicure it is impossible to process a cuticle, because the root nail is not completely formed, therefore it can be damaged. Because of this, unevenness may occur, and nail platinum may deform. Do not joke with this, in the future there may be chronic problems with the nails of the child.

For the youngest children it is better to use scissors, because the nails are soft and flexible, and when the nails are already gaining strength and become more dense to use scissors it is not necessary. This can lead to delamination and rubbing the nails. The length of the nail can be easily removed with a nail file, it does not harm the nail plate. The most important thing is to know the measure. In no case can not cut the nails under the root. Nails can stop growing due to the fact that the nail bed will not develop. It is necessary to leave a length of at least 1 mm, but the skin under the nail will be slightly protected.

First aid

• Before the manicure, scissors must be disinfected.
• If you suddenly hurt a child's finger, immediately treat it with iodine or a green plant. You can even wrap it with a bandage.
