Even if she doesn't get any less attention, she might feel she NEEDS more. She probably does feel left out and intimidated by the baby. Imagine yourself and how you feel in life -- say your best friend suddenly got another best friend. You like the new friend ok, and your best friend still calls and sees you as much as before, yet you still feel left out and lost. You then want MORE attention from your friend just so you feel secure knowing your friend isn't going to forget you and focus on the new friend. Does that make sense?
Try trimming Ashley's nails more often. As a rule the shorter the nail = the less they claw. But she could be clawing out of boredom.
