Looking for nail clippers to use after birth so baby won't scratch her face. I hate the baby mittens. Would these work to use at birth?

I didn't use clippers, files, or anything on my daughter after butth. The problem with those is that their nails are connected to the skin and I mean right to the edge. The nurse advised us to wait until they started to peel and just peel them off, if they didn't come right off then they aren't ready. It works great! These would work best after the baby is a few month. They are amazing clippers! I highly recommend them, very sharp unlike dull grown up clippers, and are great even for adult nails. Good luck with you're baby and hope you have a wonderful birth!

Hi there, My wife has been using it since my baby was three weeks. It's easy to use as it has a magnifier. My wife prefers now to clip his nails while he is asleep as he is about six months.It's really difficult to keep him still without moving his hands for a while. Mazen eg_teacher@hotmail.com

Yes, they are small enough. Just make sure the baby's hand is somewhat "stable", I know it's hard, specially with boys. But they are pretty good!

Kimberlee, It's hard to say without knowing how big your baby's head is. The tension, or how tight these are, is directly related to how much you make them bigger in length. If you put them on as small as they go they don't have as much give. The problem you may run into is 1. If you make it very small it may squeeze baby's head (although you could just adjust the length for a less tight fit and they will still stay on). 2. The actual muff portion is 3-4 inches long and 2-3 inches wide, so they may be too bulky for an infant head. I read reviews for baby banz (I believe the spelling is correct) and they actually make an infant size. I almost ordered both and just sent back the one I didn't want! Because either way you go, Amazon has a terrific return policy! Good Luck! And congratulations on the new baby! :)

Maybe, depending on your baby. try these first, if they dont work now, they will work in a few more months and last for years to come. If they dont end up working, and you really need protection, try an infant set. I wonder if they are referring to 13 months and up, because they work great for kids under 13 years!?

I think so. They may not be best for babies, but they should work well for toddlers, kids, adults, unless they have extremely sensitive skin.

It was super uncomfortable right after birth so I didn't use it much right away anyway. I've heard people have the best results when they use something right away. I thought thus worked well regardless if when you start.

I have baby fine hair and it works great for me. NOTHING has ever worked/ stayed in my hair as good as this has. I never use the glove, just hold on to the black part at the end, and only burn myself a little bit every once in a while.

I don't know but I would not buy them. Baby did not want anything to do with them. Waste of money. you can just wet a piece of washcloth, freeze it and get the same result. He liked the traditional cool teething rings so much better.

These are made to use with just a cover. Like flip cover or thirsties duo covers. You could use then with a pocket diaper but it would be very bulky. They are made to be able to touch the baby's skin.

No, I used this for 2 weeks at every feeding and it could have still been used. I also had the bigger one and the smaller one is so much easier to use. I adapted it by getting some 1/4 inch elastic and trying a piece into a necklace. That was much easier to use than the lame clip that it comes with. Good luck with nursing!

Absolutely. I have used these nail clippers on very young, very small puppies up to adult giant breeds of dogs. I love them for puppies because they are very sharp and put very little pressure on the nails.

I don't know but I would be dubious. Not sure you would get the kind of shape you would want on your fingernails. I wouldn't use them on mine.

I would not use them on my 3-4 month old baby. We used them on our 4 year old and they were a little big for her. I would think that they would not seal correctly on ears of your 3-4 month old.

Honestly I didn't like the nipples from medela. I used the pump and avent bottles. Don't think medela 's are good for newborns, case they are too soft.

Ours stay on for at least 1 month. Yes, they grow out just like a typical human acrylic nail. Make sure you use enough glue, and hold them on the nail for a sec to make sure they are secure. I fill the nail about almost halfway with glue. The glue is very strong, I've accidentally gotten it on my skin!

Yes. The only fabric you cannot use directly against the skin is microfiber. These are bamboo on top of microfiber so they would be fine against babies skin.

I didn't use them on day one, but I did start using them at the hospital with my second and third children; probably on the second or third day. Be sure not to just use it exclusively though. You will want to nurse as much without it as with it. My baby is two weeks old and I still use it about twice a day just to give my nipples a rest. Good luck!

I ordered this to use for my 18 month old daughter who sucks her thumb relentlessly. The idea behind the device is good, but it is not a good fit for her because too much condensation builds up in the area surrounding her thumb causing her skin to stay in a constant moist state. That being stated, the device could technically be used on the index finger, but I wouldn't advise it because I don't think it will be very comfortable for your child. I have resorted to covering my daughter's hand with a sock and securing it with medical tape. The sock method works the best for her; it's breathable, keeps her thumb out of her mouth and she is still able to grasp onto things.
