DDs have always had brittle toenails (not sure why). Now that they are doing gymnastics quite a bit, we find that they are splitting vertically all the way to the base of the nail on a fairly regular basis and its really quite painful for them. It seems to happen on floor most of the time.
Has anyone experienced this with their kids and if so are there any solutions that would be realistic and comfortable? I've thought about taping their big toes but am not sure if this would inhibit movement. I don't want them to damage their nail beds from frequent splits so I need to find some kind of a solution.
