for already moms of girls

How old was your baby girl before you painted her nails?

[rebeccaann11]

I did my daugther around 5 months maybe 6??? They make nail polish that isn't harsh as the ones you csn get at walmart or anywhere.

[mamaMcAnulty]

Omg!!!!! How I miss seeing your posts :) ♡♥♡ I know alot of moms that will paint girls nails at 3 months.. just watch to make sure she doesnt suck toes and fingers as it is bad for them to suck on the polish

[Karina517]

She was a year old ! And my husband freaked out lol he doesn't want me to paint her nails or her wearing lip gloss lol he doesn't even want her with earings lmao ! My husband is a wierdo :)

It's called piggy paint.
My daughter is 5 weeks and I thought about just painting her toe nails,  since she's already chewing on her fingers.  

[guerita209]

My mom painted my daughters nails when she about 6 months i believe but i know of ppl who did it a few days after their baby was born

[Kenzie10]

1 year

[lmcplus4]

I painted my daughters a week after she was home from the hospital... never thought about it being unsafe just not in a in closed room...

[Courtney_ak]

I painted my daughters nails for her first pictures at 1 week. I hadn't thought about the harmful chemicals...probably wasn't the best idea

But it sure was cute :)

Not bashing anyone but I have to ask is this an American thing? Because I don't know anyone who has painted their baby's nails. Maybe a 3 or 4 year old, but never younger than that.
So are you all American? Because I know pageants are a big deal over there, so maybe it isn't as shocking for you to see a baby with nail polish.
Also, one poster said her husband won't let her out lip gloss on her baby and then said that made him weird? I have to say I agree with the husband. Grown women wear make up to look good and 'catch' a man. A baby does not need over sexualizing at the most innocent time of her life

[Star3789]

I am American and completely agree with LucyMarie.

[Courtney_ak]

I am American. Nail polish, to me is as innocent as pigtails! It's just one of those things my daughter enjoys doing with mommy. When she was a baby I painted her nails because I thought it looked adorable. I know, in no way am I over sexualizing my little girl. She's as modest as they come, nails painted or not :). And for me it has absolutely nothing to do with pageants. It's all just girlie fun :)

[EstrellaRuiz]

I feel bad for saying I paint my baby's nails now lol I get the point but I paint my daughter toe nails not finger nails only because she thinks mine are pretty when I do them so I do it so we can match, I waited until she was 1 but I honestly don't see the harm. No one sees them but me it's not like I bring her out barefoot or anything she wears shoes lol

[bellamommydaddy]

I painted my daughters toe nails lime green a little before 2 months. It doesn't hurt anything since she can't suck off the paint obviously

[CindyLovesTito]

I waited til my girl was one. Didnt want her inhaling the fumes

[mamabear8911]

They do have those nontoxic nail polish for babies and kids,  that's all nature no chemicals.  But my daughter was 3when I started painting her nails

[LucyMarie1991]

@Courtney_ak I feel the need to point out that I thought putting make up on your baby is over sexualizing. I didn't say the nail polish was. I just don't think there's any need to put nail polish on a baby.

[062914]

Lip gloss and nail polish isnt over sexualizing, my daughter is two and loves to wear "lipstick" cause she sees mommy doing it as well as nail polish, kids always look up their parents and want to copy.. I do however agree that putting nail polish on infants is kinda wrong plus the fumes and what not is a risk right?

[fangeorgetevin_1]

All I can say is wow....painting infants nails...wow !!!

[cazbella90]

I think it's ridiculous and same im from UK and I have never heard of a baby with nail polish or Luo gloss...like really? Surely your little daughter is cute enough with having to colour her nails at such a young age. Toddlers yes cuz they do enjoy it but when they are weeks,months old and haven't developed speak yet its obvious your doing it for your own joy.

[2nd_princess]

I am with the UK mums on here not ever have I seen a baby with nail polish on (also from UK) I never painted my daughters nails till she was 2 and that was because she seen me putting it on and wanted her toes like mummy I would never ever put it on a baby a toddler yes not a baby

[July2baby]

Its funny that nail polish is being made out to be such a big deal..seriously????  

[2nd_princess]

July2baby I don't think its nail polish that the big deal is about its the age of the babies that are getting nail polish put on them.

[Jen_Wes]

I'm black & I would never put nail polish, weave or anything artificial that she wasn't born with on my daughter. I don't even wear make up or weave or any of that stuff cause I love myself the way God made me & I would want my daughter to know that she doesn't need any of that stuff because she is already as beautiful as can be.... And btw, nothing is done "Just For Fun" everyone has a purpose for doing things. We all expect to get a certain feeling out of whatever we do. IJS

[Jen_Wes]

And no I'm not trying to get all religious about this. It's all a matter of habit & self esteem. I see this as a matter of when she grows older she will see wearing nail polish as a necessity & will not feel at ease with herself since her mother trained her to wear it. Train a child the way he/she must go & he/she will not depart from it. IJS
