Suggest Treatment For Mee Lines In Child

I have a 2 month old boy born by emergency C-section due to late decelerations. I have noticed that he has mee lines on all his finger nails. They are past halfway on the nail bed. I am wondering whether this is an indication of a systemic disease or whether it is likely benign?
