March 14th is definitely a very happy day for Li Yapeng, just today, Li Yapeng announced his marriage + baby on the social platform, which is really a double happiness.
Just last week, the entertainment news was still Li Yapeng took his 19-year-old wife Jin Xi to the maternity examination information, really did not expect that after a few days, the two became a family of three, it was really sweet to catch people off guard.
On the social platform, Li Yapeng posted a wedding photo with Jin Xi, as well as a more festive photo of a family of three. However, in this photo, netizens seem to be attracted by the newborn's nails, and the sharp-eyed netizens can see at a glance that the baby's nails are a little long, and said that they want to help the baby cut off the nails.
Not to mention, the shape of the baby's nails is very good-looking, after looking at it, it is the slender shape of the fingers, for newborns to have such a good hand nails, do you feel envious?
First, then again, the nails at birth are so long, so when did the fetus start growing nails?
Talk about the development of nails in the womb:
★ After the fertilized egg implants, the small embryo begins to rapidly differentiate the cells, forming various organs of the body. In the 4th week of pregnancy, the little baby's hands and feet have not yet grown, but there is already a tendency to grow.
★ In weeks 7-8, the little baby's hands and feet have grown out, but this week, the little baby's fingers and toes have not been separated, and by the 10th week or so, they are separated.
★Around 16 weeks, the fetus begins to grow nails, and then the nails are long.
★ By about 34 weeks, the fetal nails are almost long, almost covering the entire nail bed, and it will not be long before they can grow to the fingertips.
★ In the following period of time, the nails did not stop growing, and when the baby was born, we saw the long nails of the baby's hand.
When the newborn has these long nails, it means that the baby's nutrition in the fetal period is still relatively sufficient, if the baby's nutrition is not sufficient, especially when some trace elements are lacking, the baby's nails just want to grow and can't grow.
Should a newborn's nails be cut?
Many people feel that when they see the baby's nails so long, obsessive-compulsive disorder is committed, and it is uncomfortable not to help the baby cut them off.
And I am also worried that the baby's long fingernails will scratch his little face.
Although it is normal to have this kind of thinking, we don't need to do this, because the baby is soaked in amniotic fluid before birth, and the nails are very soft and generally do not scratch the baby's skin.
And when you are just born, you are generally sleeping, there is no time to play with nails, not to mention, the baby's nails have not yet been formed, and they are not suitable for cutting nails.
After a month of birth, the baby's nails are much "hard" than when they were born, and they are basically formed, if you don't help the baby cut his nails in time, the baby is really easy to scratch himself, at this time we can regularly cut the baby's nails.
Some parents will put small gloves on their babies, which is also possible, but it can only be a temporary solution.
Of course, every baby is different, the baby needs to cut his nails or not, but also according to the actual situation, we do not need to follow the same.
Some babies are more naughty, just two days after birth to scratch themselves, then parents must be so obedient, should help the baby cut nails in time, so as not to continue to "hurt" themselves.
There are also some baby nails are indeed relatively long, for daily life will cause some inconvenience, easy to hide bacteria, but also because the nails are too long and easy to break, but hurt the nail bed, at this time we should also actually help the baby to cut off the nails.
In short, try to maximize the benefits of your baby's nails.
What should I pay attention to when cutting nails for newborns?
Although the newborn sleeps more, the strength is not particularly large, but after all, the baby is a living person, the hands and feet will also move randomly, and nail clipping is a technical work, if you are not careful, you will hurt the baby, so you need to be careful when helping the baby cut the nails.
Secure your baby's hand. We can help the baby cut his nails while the baby is sleeping, but be sure to hold the baby's hand steadily, especially the finger that is cutting the nail, to avoid the baby moving around when cutting the nails, but hurting the hand.
Choose nail clippers for newborns. We usually use nail clippers are relatively large, not suitable for newborns, it is recommended to use newborn-specific nail clippers, these special nail clippers have a certain curvature, when cutting nails can be formed at one time, do not worry about a nail to be cut repeatedly, and do not worry about accidentally injuring the baby.
Remember the lazy mother's baby when the nails are also very long, but also scratched their own face, there is no way to cut off the nails, at that time the old people in the family said not to use nail clippers, to use teeth to chew it off, of course, the last use of nail clippers, easy to use.
Leave a suitable length when cutting nails. We don't cut your baby's nails too short, just cover the nails or be slightly shorter, so that you can protect your baby's fingers. Remember to cut your nails into rectangles so that you can avoid incarcerated nails.
Frequency of nail clipping. The baby's growth rate is very fast, the growth rate of nails is also very fast, and the time for parents to help the baby cut nails should be determined according to the growth rate of the baby's nails.
It is recommended to finger 1-2 times a week and toes about once every two weeks.
After cutting, you should also help the baby check whether the nails have been flattened, and if there are any pointy places, deal with them.
Speaking of which, did you who are pregnant buy nail clippers for newborns? If not, remember to hurry up and buy it.
