My LO thinks its funny when I clip her nails so its not a struggle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152931 Wed, 09 May 2012 12:59:14 +0000 lemondrop 152931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried once a week, but one of us usually ends up getting scratches by day 4, so that is when I do it. Which reminds me, he needs them done today, ouch! I usually set him on the changing table by the window so I can see better, he never has minded either. </p> <p>I had baby nail clippers, but I just kept accidentally cutting him with them, so I just use my regular adult sized ones. Occasionally if I find a sharp edge I just bite it off. I'm used to trimming wiggly cat and dog nails, so baby nails are really easy- I don't eve have to wrap him in a towel or muzzle him ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152878 Wed, 09 May 2012 12:25:05 +0000 Mrsbells 152878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have clippers but havent gotten the courage to use them, i also use an emery board to file them down, but its hard because she doesnt like when I file her nails </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152840 Wed, 09 May 2012 11:26:08 +0000 enjollah 152840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once or twice a week with nail clippers. I try to do it who he sleeps or we he's distracted by the activity gym :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152636 Wed, 09 May 2012 08:33:48 +0000 pelikila 152636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once a week with nail clippers. I keep a set in my car so if he ever falls asleep in the car (rare these days) I take advantage and do them when he won't throw a fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152609 Wed, 09 May 2012 08:04:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 152609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I clip Wagon Jr.'s nails more than once a week, it seems! They grow so fast!! His hair grows fast too. Don't know what this means. I get lazy sometimes and he breaks his nails!! Sometimes they break really far down and I feel so bad for neglecting them. So far he hasn't bled from a broken nail yet. </p> <p>I was terrified of clipping his nails when he was born, but very very soon it became no big thing. He never had a problem with me clipping them either, probably because I did it so religiously from when he was young. I tended to be that way because he sucked on his fingers, and then his nails would get really soft and tear and break. Plus I clip my dogs' nails weekly or every 2 weeks.</p> <p>When he was a baby I'd file them down after clipping them a bit (just run the file over the freshly cut nails to dull them a bit). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152576 Wed, 09 May 2012 07:14:43 +0000 purrpletulips 152576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now: About one a week using nail clippers. I do it after bath so her nails are softer.</p> <p>In the beginning I used to do it more often and would do it while she was nursing because she hated it and was already occupied. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152563 Wed, 09 May 2012 06:27:04 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 152563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love trimming nails. :) I use clippers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152557 Wed, 09 May 2012 06:12:22 +0000 chopsuey 152557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I trim her nails about once a week.

I usually just get a couple a day because she gets too wiggly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152547 Wed, 09 May 2012 00:40:20 +0000 His Barista 152547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About once a week. Hard to get to them though! I have baby clippers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152517 Tue, 08 May 2012 22:51:37 +0000 sandy 152517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About once every 4-5 days for fingernails and i use nail scissors - so easy and painless. I also have a little nail file that I use sometimes if there is a rough edge. The nail file was also what I used in the beginning for her toenails, but now I use the nail scissors for her toes too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nails#post-152506 Tue, 08 May 2012 22:01:09 +0000 autumnlove 152506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How often do you trim your LO's nails? Do you file, use clippers or nail scissors? </p>
