Ingrown toenail

My LO is 7 weeks old and I noticed one of his toenail very red and swollen. Have that happened to any pf your babies? If so, please let me know what I can do. It looks more red and swollen in person

My baby was like that too! I kinda played around with the nail and the redness went away

The pediatrician told me to leave it alone and it went away 🙌🏻

Hello lovely - just checking if you LO's ingrown went away? Mine has one atm. Not sure whether to just leave it alone or play with it

@Louise hi, mine went away on its own, but I asked his pediatrician in case he had another one which he didn’t and she said to leave it alone because by touching it or trying to cut it they can get infected. She also recommended soaking the toe in warm water and washing with soap and always keep it dry and try not to have the baby using footed clothes for a long time to avoid getting moist in it

When it gets better you can file the nail down a little bit

Thank you @Diana
