Trim Your Babies Nails Without Fuss
I remember the first time I attempted to cut my son’s fingernails. He was born with long sharp nails, and thankfully I had to cut them in the hospital. Unfortunately, I did a horrible job and ended up making them even sharper! Thankfully, some moms at Parenting.com have come up with some suggestions on how to make nail trimming easy:
File with an emery board instead of cutting if the nail isn’t very long, or if it’s more sharp than long.
Use a nail clipper designed for babies. The regular ones are harder to manage (and actually do look big enough to take off a baby’s finger).
Babies fingers also tend to peel better than adult nails, and many times can just be pulled off the nail is already broken.
