???

Kaleb will be 3 months old monday...i think he has a in-grown toe nail, i have never cut his toe nails because they really havent grown any...do u think he has a in-grown toe nail...its red and when i touch it he screams should i try to cut his toe nail are should i wait till we go to the doctor (i dont want to make it worse)

I dont have any advise - but I wanted to say my daughter was born April 21st, too!!

My son turned one on April 21st... What a great day huh ladies !

i'm not really sure.. i always hate messing with his toenails. Maybe once your little one goes to sleep try and get a better look. I'm not sure I would try to dig the ingrown nail out at home though.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help..

How should I treat my baby's ingrown toenail?

Soak your baby's foot in warm (not hot) soapy water for about ten minutes, two or three times a day. (Most babies love to splash around in water, so it shouldn't be too hard to convince him to do this.) Afterward, dry it and apply a dab of over-the-counter antibiotic ointment or cream to the problem area.

You might try gently filing the nail away from the skin. If you can, use your nails to gently lift the toenail and insert a small amount of sterile cotton or gauze between the nail and the skin. Use only enough to raise the nail slightly, and replace the cotton several times a day. (If you can't get your baby to sit still for this, try it while he's sleeping.)

If you think that the ingrown nail is really bothering your baby, you might consider giving him a carefully measured dose of over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen. (Never give your child aspirin, which can trigger Reye's syndrome — a rare but potentially fatal illness. And if your baby is younger than 3 months old, check with the doctor before giving him anything at all.)

Have your baby wear loose-fitting shoes or sandals until the toe is healed, and let him go barefoot at home. In many cases, an ingrown toenail will improve in a few days once you start taking these steps.
