Mininor nail scissor and nail file are designed to safely cut the baby's nails and prevent the baby from getting scratch marks in its face. An infant's nails are soft so cutting them may not be needed but as they grow their nails will harden and will soon require cutting like an adult's. The tip of the Mininor nail scissor is rounded to prevent accidentally pricking the baby's skin. , , After cutting the nails they may have sharp edges and since the baby is discovering the world (including its own face) with its hands and doesn't have full control of its motor skills, a nail file is included to make the nails smooth and rounded. Even though the blades look small, the handle provides a good grip for an adult hand. Tip: Cutting the nails after giving the baby a bath may be easier as the nails are then softer. Alternatively, cutting the baby's nails while it is sleeping is often much easier. , , Warning: Store the scissors outside of the reach of children.
