Has anyone had this happen to their kiddos. When I was washing DS1 up last night for bed I noticed that 3 of his nails are peeling from the cuticles forward. It is as if he's loosing the nails, but to my knowledge he's had no trauma to these fingers. I'm attaching a photo of his thumb. His index finger is a little further along and his middle finger is just starting. He has this happening on two fingers on one hand and one finger on the other hand.

He is allergic to milk...is this a sign of too little calcium or some other nutritional deficiency? I've never seen this happen.
