A photo of a newborn with surprisingly long and pointed nails has triggered concern online and ignited discussions about potential risks. The picture quickly spread on Twitter, showing a woman’s thumb holding the infant’s hand, adorned with meticulously crafted fake nails.
The woman’s caption, ‘I can do your baby nails…cheap rates,’ drew attention and criticism. Critics pointed out the possible hazards of the adorned nails on the baby. One comment read, ‘Baby nails are sharp enough as is, I can’t imagine equipping my daughter with claws. Hard pass.’
The pictures showcased the baby wearing false nails in different styles, including pointed, talon-like nails in one image and more rounded edges in another. The designs displayed the stiletto shape, a square, and an oval edge.
The controversial post caught the attention of Reddit users, sparking outrage among parents concerned about potential dangers associated with the trend. A user commented, ‘You’re supposed to keep your baby’s nails cut short so they don’t hurt themselves… this is trashy and f***in stupid.’
While online trends can spark debates and divisions, the safety and well-being of infants should remain the top priority, ensuring their health and happiness throughout their early stages of life.
