I definitely don't want him ingesting any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-polish-safe-around-babies#post-919977 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:29:54 +0000 MsMamaBear 919977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I third piggy paint. I use it to paint my LO's nails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-polish-safe-around-babies#post-919949 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:19:29 +0000 MsLipGloss 919949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: What about a Gel/Shellac mani? They don't chip and last 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-polish-safe-around-babies#post-919922 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:13:59 +0000 heffalump 919922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use piggy paint because nail polish smell gives me migraines. I'd feel comfortable wearing it with a baby. But it does chip easier then most nail polishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-polish-safe-around-babies#post-919618 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:11:13 +0000 DillonLion 919618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: I really want to paint LOs nails but have been holding off for the same reasons...so I looked into alternatives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-polish-safe-around-babies#post-919614 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:09:40 +0000 Katrocap 919614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: thanks for the recommendation! Glad to know you've been wearing nail polish and everything is fine with your LO. I'm sure it's no big deal.</p> <p>@honeybear: I might do my toes instead. I think I'd just worry too much with polish on my fingers even if it really isn't a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-polish-safe-around-babies#post-919472 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:30:14 +0000 DillonLion 919472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had my nails painted on and off since LO was born...she'll chew on my fingers sometimes but I don't think she's ever chipped a piece off and swallowed it...and if she has, there have been no adverse effects! </p> <p>They do make baby-safe nail polish. Maybe you can get some of that! <a href="http://www.piggypaint.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.piggypaint.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-polish-safe-around-babies#post-919466 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:26:52 +0000 honeybear 919466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know, but I didn't want to take the risk. I can't wear nail polish without having it chipped within a day, so I figured I shouldn't experiment because LO would totally end up with a flake or two in his mouth. </p> <p>Can you do your toenails instead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-polish-safe-around-babies#post-919460 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:24:21 +0000 Katrocap 919460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't worn nail polish since my 6 month old was born. I'd like to paint my nails for fun and to cheer myself up, but my baby is always putting my fingers in his mouth. It's really difficult to avoid this. Is it safe for my LO to put my painted nails in his mouth? </p>
