I don't know about you, but when it comes to the thought of cutting my daughter's nails it actually scares me. When she was very small, we somehow nicked her little finger and it put off both my husband and I for life, my husband vowed to never ever cut her nails again. Every so often I pluck up enough courage to actually cut them, but it still scares me. However, we came across a new company called Baby Nails who have created a new and innovative solution when it comes to the dreaded task of cutting your baby's nails.
The creators of the innovative baby nails came up with this unique idea not too long after the birth of their son. And just like all new parents they found it difficult to try and keep their son's nails neat and trim. But one day while feeding her son, Rebecca made a discovery while trying to file his nails and that it was far too difficult to file, feed and hold her son at the same time. If only she had a nail file that she could place over her thumb and file with her one free hand! One text later and the rest as they say, is history!
I was very kindly sent over the mixed pack contains three sets of 5 disposable nail files which are suitable for new born, 3 months and 6 months, as well as the ‘Thumble’, which you slot over your thumb to file the nails one-handed. The set retails at £7.49 with replacement files costing £3.49 for a pack of 15 nail files or a bumper pack with double the amount of files plus the 'Thumble 'costing £9.99. There are also sets with files for just one age range.
So how does Babynails work?
You slip on a “Thumble”, with a nail file attached, onto your thumb. As you hold your baby, you can gently file the nails down. The nail files can be replaced and simply stick on the “Thumble” with adhesive. There is an opening at the front so you can wear the “Thumble”, even with a long thumbnail. We simply read through the instructions and set about filing my daughter's nails. Even though the ideas was pretty simple it did take me a few attempt to get a good flow with the filing, but once I cracked that it was so quick and easy to file her nails. My daughter really likes the 'Thumble' and as toddlers do, they are intrigued and she was more than happy to watch as I filed her nails. Afterwards she would continue with her toddler duties and go and make a complete mess in my living room and thankfully her face and my face were free from those scratchy nails of hers.
As I mentioned earlier we were very kindly sent over the mixed pack contains three sets of 5 disposable nail files which are suitable for new born, 3 months and 6 months, as well as the ‘Thumble’, which you slot over your thumb to file the nails one-handed. For new babies the finest grit is used, and then a medium grit for 3 months and a coarser grit for 6 months. These are the recommendations that come within the Babynails set. As soon as we received our set we went straight to work. I also got my sister and my friend to try the Babynails on their own children and they couldn't believe how quick and simple filing their nails would be. My sister decided to try and file her son's nails as he was feeding. A great way to try and multitask...
What did we think of Babynails?
It was definitely less stressful an experience than usual, although like I mentioned, at first it took some time to get into the flow of filing but once we cracked the flow, everything else was pretty straightforward. My sister and friend also highly recommend Babynails too, it's a safer and less stressful way to make their children's nail neat and short without the fear of nicking or cutting their fingertips. In a nutshell, I feel as if it's a 'must have' product for all new parent right up into the toddler years. I even tried the coarser file on my four year old niece who was rather intrigued and took the 'Thumble' and went off to file her own nails. Furthermore, baby nails offers a number of different sets on their website that would be more than accommodating to suit your child's age.
