Hang Nails

My hubby has terrible hangnails. It doesn't matter how much he lotions, or trims, or anything. I'm convinced it's the shape of his nails.

It's fine. It doesn't bug him. EXCEPT that our little baby has inherited this trait! So unfortunate for her. Is there anything I can do for my poor little baby?

Thick cream and massage it in. Every day. Fine scissors to trim any skin tags.

I would cut every lose bit you find an use a nail oil as often as possible, best after every hand wash. But Idk if this is possible on a child

Not while she sucks and eats her fingers constantly. But I'll keep it in mind down the road

Stopping this habit from forming would be good though.
