I've been chastised for recommending the soft emery
board.  Is there  any research out there that anyone knows of that says that
cutting the  nails early poses any risk to the baby or that baby emery boards
can cause  harm?

I'm not aware of the research on this, but our policy is not to cut baby's  
fingernails in the hospital. We often suggest using a fine emery board to 
smooth  out the edges. What is wrong with that?
