Anyone else have young children who’s toenails don’t grow normally? Both my 2 children have toenails the grow downwards towards the end of their toes making it harder to cut them.

My youngest has this, it kind of curls around the toe.
I make sure to not let them grow too long so keep them short and cut them directly after bath, which makes it easier

Definitely chat to a podiatrist to help manage.

YES!!!! Both my girls are the same! I’m so glad it isn’t just my girls! I haven’t got any great tips, I just cut them as best as I can. I’m sorry I don’t have any great ideas! But just know your kids are alone!!! x
