I drink plenty of milk and I still get them. I have always heard that you can get them buy just hitting your nail. Kind of like a bruise. But nothing to worry about. As long as they do eventually go away, and do not get worse. Maybe your little one has hit its hand with something or on something.What are the white marks you get on your nails?

Please end the anxiety I've suffered over this question. What are those white spots that appear on my fingernails and where do they come from? --Katina Uribe, Flower Mound, Texas
Dear Katina:
Sorry to lay this on you, kid, but I figure if you're going to be anxious, you might as well be anxious big time. What you've got is what's known as punctate leukonychia (medicalese for ';white spots.';) Extreme cases of leukonychia, in which the nails turn entirely white (leukonychia totalis) or develop white bands (striate leukonychia), can indicate anything from arsenic poisoning to leprosy. Leukonychia has also been linked to typhoid fever, frostbite, trichinosis, gout, diphtheria, cholera, acute rheumatism, myocardial infarction, colitis, and any number of other ghastly ailments.
But don't sweat, you probably don't have any of them. Mere spots are extremely common and undoubtedly harmless. The folklore about them goes back for centuries; they've been called ';gift spots,'; ';fortune spots,'; and for some reason ';sweethearts.'; As with many other minor medical curiosities, little research has been done on punctate leukonychia in recent years. The white color has been variously attributed to trapped air and to defective keratinization, keratinization being the process by which nails are formed. The air bubbles and/or opaque, imperfectly keratinized granules within the nail cells refract light and the spot appears white.
The precise cause of leukonychia is a mystery. It's said to be more common in the young and in women, and often shows up when the body undergoes stress or trauma, such as a blow to the fingertips. Excessive manicuring can make things worse; so can working in a pickle factory, of all things. So pitch the nail file (a bit too '40s anyway, don't you think?), quit packing those kosher dills, and I'm sure those damn spots will be out in no time.
calcium deficiency - check with your dr.
You may need to self evaluate. They could be from poor nutrition or stress. If they are white pits, that is a key sign with psoriasis.
You should be eating good wholefoods and taking a natural multi vitamin if your diet is not up to par, like most of ours are not.
Check out this site which has lots of information about healthy nutrition and healthy living, I hear a store is opening in October on-line.

Don't worry- the white spots on your fingernails are most likely to be caused by a mild zinc deficiency which can be easily corrected by taking a dietary supplement. Zinc is relatively safe and non-toxic so sensible levels of supplementation should do you no harm. I would advise 20-40mg of elemental zinc a day (available from chemists as zinc sulphate). It it may take several weeks before any improvement is seen.
no it is perfectly natural. Just a sec and I will look in my books to give a good explanation.
The body goes through a lot of changes during pregnancy including hormonal fluctuations that can affect the skin, the hair, and the nails,'; agrees George Kroumpouzos
Nails can change during pregnancy, too, Kroumpouzos says. ';Women may report splitting or rough surfaces although we are not sure exactly why this occurs,'; he says.
I guess it's just hormones. Me and my aunt have the same thing. Don't worry. It will go back to normal after birth. And the baby is fine.
they are calcium deposits. it tells you your body need more calcium. drink milk or if you dont like milk take a vitamin with calcium in it.
