Of Baby fingers and WMDs
Who would have thought that baby fingers, those soft, supple, little touchy feely fingers would being such destruction or even harm to the angelic face of Our Little One!
Our Little One was born with his hand to his face, a habit that I believe will follow him throughout his life. So at 7mths old (yippee!!!!) he still scratches his face, and head and pulls his hair with relish.... nothing wrong with that except that he has killer fingernails!!!! I make an conscious effort to trim his nails every 3-4 days... heck I was scrambling to get nailclippers the 2nd day he was born cos he had such long fingernails.. and for the first few months of his young life, I had to put newborn sized socks on his hands (since I can't keep his hands off his face) so that when they go into scratching mode, his cheeks don't look like they have just been through the grinders.....
And of course, needless today, I have been scratched countless times and trimming his nails right now is just not an operation that is easily carried out... When he is awake, I can manage about 2 fingers worth of fingernails before the wriggling and impatient baby decides to get his message across ... and of course when he goes to sleep, I am already too tired to try to execute a such a precarious operation (I have already accidentally nicked him 2x when I was trimming his fingernails)... it is such a never ending battle.. When I finally manage to trim all 10 fingernails, they are growing out again into weapons of mass destruction in under a week!!! Is the baby taking too much calcium?
PS: His toenails on the other hand are a different story... I have had only to trim them every other month!
