Ingrown toenail?

Question

My little girl is eleven weeks and I’m getting concerned that her big toe nails are ingrown. We bought it up very early days to the health visitor who wasn’t concerned and it causes her no discomfort but the skin seems to be surrounding the nails so I don’t know how it can fix itself?
Anybody have anything similar with their little ones? Any advice?

Answer

My sons toenails were triangular when he was born and my midwife said they just hadn’t grown in yet? I’d definitely take him to get it checked just in case!

Answer

It looks normal to me. Their toenails are weird when they are little. Mine looked like that and then it sort of just grew up and over their puffy little toe. I asked my ped about it because I was concerned as well and he said they just have funny big toenails when they are babies.

Answer

Yup. My son's tornails were like this. We just left them alone. They were never ingrown just looked like it. His nails kind of grow up over the skin. My husband's are the same. The nailbeds are just a little deeper but the nail grows with a slight curve. Hard to explain but they look and grow normally now.
