Babies usually have fingernails from the day they are born. They can be long at birth.
Newborn baby’s will have very soft nails in there first few days after birth. So it will be possible to gently peel the ends off with your fingers instead of using a scissors.
Although you might feel nervous about it, you’ll need to cut them so your baby does not scratch their face.
Most parents accidentally nick their baby’s skin at one time or another. If this happens, don’t worry. Gently press a clean towel or gauze to the cut until the bleeding stops.
Diffrent methods:
Bite off the soft nail
Peel off the soft nail with your fingers
Use a baby scissors
Cut it very carefully with a nail clipper
File it down with a nail filer
