Answer

It's because her nails are so long. They need to be shorter

Answer

Maybe invest in an electric nail trimmer? I don't like clipping newborn nails so I trimm them all the way till it's gone. You shouldn't be able to see any dirt under anything if you clip the ends completely off. Also make sure to pay attention to baby hands during bath times to make sure it isn't hiding from you and collecting over time.

Answer

Yes

Answer

I never have this issue with my baby. I do five her nightly baths part of her bedtime routine so maybe thats why. It can come from dead skin if she scratches you or herself if goes under her nail.
