I have a 4 month old baby and my nails were fine whilst pregnant, but now they're really flaky. I used to have great nails and I'm not sure what to do to get them back. I've tried a few products and they haven't worked.

Flaky nails could mean that you're deficient in Vitamin B, so supplements may help. Another option is massaging oils into the cuticle,

try 'green hands organic cuticle oil', or simply a little olive oil or baby oil. Do this each night before bed and first thing in the morning. This should keep the nails moist and help to strengthen them.

Another possibility is that your flaky nails could be a symptom of an overactive thyroid, which often occurs after pregnancy, so if it continues it is worth going to the doctor's to have it checked out.

Hope this advice helps and congratulations on your new baby.

Sara
