Little Martin's Drawer Baby Nail Files

Why We Like It

In the first two weeks of life, many pediatricians recommend filing over clipping entirely. Little Martin's Drawer nail files are individually thin enough to slip under newborn nails and at 240 count, a single pack lasts through the most sensitive stage. Pairs naturally with any electric trimmer once your baby is past the newborn window.
