Her fingernails grow well although aren't hugely strong. Her toenails look a bit flakey. Any ideas would help!

Goodness, no advice I'm afraid.
Although my 2.8 yr old needs his fingernails cut twice a week - yes really and only toes, maybe 3 - 4 weeks.
But toes never ??
Seems unusual.

My four yr old's toe nails grow like mad, and her fingernails. Don't know what to do about it.

I cut my DD's for the first time today I think. She is 2.5. Her big toenail is like a horn spoon the wrong way up and her little toenail is a bit like a piece of grey Playmobil (the sort that rattles up the hoover pipe before you realise it.) What is it with toenails? Horrible job.

DS1 bites his toenails (yuck) so his never need doing either

pointydog · 04/10/2006 22:47
