Nail painting on the little ones

[CinderToriella]

So i just saw a pic from someone on my FB of her little 8 month old girl and she had painted her toe nails .
I was a little shocked , i personally would not do this at all.

What are your thoughts , am i missing something here? Why would she paint her baby's nails

Wow, that's weird. DD has her feet in her mouth all the time just now (the flexible little bugger that she is!) so I'd be worried about her eating the nail polish.

my DD1 is 4, she came home from seeing the SIL with a mani andpedi, which she proceeded to chew off with her teeth. i lost my nut!! and she's 4!!! no way on a teeny 8 mnth old!

Every now and then when I am painting my toes I'll do DD2's, she thinks it is very funny to see and feel. It isn't an everyday occurance, but just for fun. Maybe it was one of those things?

I wouldn't on a baby, I'd be worried they'd suck it off. I've put it on DD2 a couple of times, and DD1 likes hers to get done every couple of weeks. But she doesn't bite her nails.

i had a friend that used to paint her babies nails. she would have been a similar age. don't like it, wouldn't do it!

I've done it to both my daughters

They haven't bothered to eat the polish off, it usually wears off as they're crawling. DD2 thinks it is wonderful and shows off her toes to everyone by pointing and saying 'toes' with a big smile.

I'm kinda impressed she got her 8 month old to sit still long enough to paint her nails! Maybe she was asleep when she did it?

I painted a BF's toenails when he was watching telly once. He didn't even notice. Nice shade of pink too.

The only way i can get to cut DD's nails is if i promise to paint them! A good friend bought her a bottle of non-toxic nailpolish that washes off by itself after a couple of rinses under water. When DS was tiny DD used it to paint his toenails! He wasn't at a toesucking age yet thankfully
