My 3month old has started sucking on anything he can get his hands on I think its the early stages of teething!!! but I always wear nail polish coz I got quite manly hands and try to make them more femanine!!! Ds likes to suck and chew my (clean) fingers is the nail polish toxic to him ?? Will it harm him?

Look at the ingredients list on the nail polish bottle.
Not exactly a carrot stick, is it?
Yes it could be toxic to him "lol"

Either get over your vanity or get your son a teething toy

I think you should probably remove your nail polish, for the sake of your baby. My friend found out that her severe skin reactions were caused by her nail polish being absorbed into her bloodstream.

If your pride in your appearance takes precedence over your baby's safety then go ahead. But why ask if you don't like the answers you get?

Thank u indi some useful advice!!!! I ask because if it is completly harmless then I have no need to worry !! And never said it takes preffenence !! No need to get all worked up boo it was only a question!! And it was only your answer I didn't like... Thanx to the others tho

I think it's likely to be harmful, yes.

Sorry.

I think you should embrace your naked hands as having masculine hands myself I know they won't look better with nail varnish...I would worry about looking like a bloke in drag, lol.

Be really careful after you have removed it as the remover stuff is poisonous too, so give it about 24 hours before you let him suck your fingers after that.

Hope you find him something else to suck soon!

Damien Hurst pickled a cow and calf in the same stuff you are painting on your nails. What do you think? Hmm
