How to use a baby nail file?

The baby nail file is one of the most important baby care accessories, along with round-tipped scissors or baby nail clippers.


  • At birth, your baby's fingernails and toenails are already well-formed.
  • We recommend waiting until your baby is one month old before giving them their first mani-pedi.
  • If your baby scratches during the first few weeks, file their nails softly with a baby-friendly nail file.
  • Choose a glass or cardboard nail file with a soft grit, available at drugstores.
  • File your baby's nails when they're calm or asleep.
