Nails
Hi mummas.
Any tips on how to strengthen nails?
My little one was premature and his nails we not fully formed.
All but this big toenail are fine, but as you can see this splits and it just looks so sore. He doesn’t fuss about it and it doesn’t seem to bother him, but I don’t want it to become a problem or develop In to and Ingrown nail because it is constantly breaking. Any advise on what I can use?
Thanks

Mine was almost full term (38 weeks) and huge and her big toe nails are always brittle as well, Im not really worried to be honest
Does he have an iron supplement?
It happens as they start rolling around and crawling. They snag on things and split
My eldest was born 5 weeks early but all his nails were present and formed, but they’ve always been fairly brittle and prone to breaking (I had no idea that could possibly be related to being preterm?!) he’s 3 now and they’re much the same. But I figured it’s just because he’s on the go and they take more wear than his fingernails, running, climbing, socks, shoes etc.
