First time when she was only a few weeks old, it wasn't deep, hardly bled and she didn't cry but I felt so horrible! The next time, it was because she moved and she hardly bled, though she definitely felt it and cried. Then just when I swore I'd never do it again, I did it again! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-318257 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 22:34:18 +0000 Rosie Girl 318257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have :( I think its worse for us then them though. At least I hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-318254 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 22:32:13 +0000 pinkcupcake 318254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awh! </p> <p>I use nail scissors - a few weeks ago, I cut too close and almost cut into her skin. Her skin was really red and looked irritated, but there wasn't any blood. I still felt awful :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317773 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 19:39:48 +0000 yin 317773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same thing happened to me when my LO was only a month old. He cried so hard, and I felt like such a bad mommy. Luckily it only happened once, but I still don't like clipping his nails. Always afraid that he will jerk suddenly and I'll accidentally clip his skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317756 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 19:24:07 +0000 mrsjyw 317756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awww poor M :( pooor mommy.

First time I went to do it. Took the tip of her pinky! She didn't make a peep, but there was SO much blood. I was traumatized and like you, we file now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317727 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 18:56:59 +0000 mrs. wagon 317727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never clipped Wagon Jr.'s skin, but I knicked LMW a few weeks ago. She cried out right away and I felt horrible, but thankfully she was nursing at the time and was soothed immediately. I was so afraid it would get infected but she was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317671 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 17:36:14 +0000 matador84 317671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why I'm too scared to clip!!! So sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317658 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 17:21:42 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 317658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, she screamed, I screamed, blood everywhere, it was horrible. Good thing Mr SH was there to calm us both down.<br /> That's why I bite baby nails off now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317655 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 17:20:26 +0000 mrsjazz 317655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cried when I cut my daughter's finger. She screamed and there was so much blood. She was fine in a couple of minutes but I no longer use nail clippers. I use baby nail scissors and hubby and I do it together--he holds her hands and I cut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317652 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 17:17:28 +0000 chopsuey 317652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:(<br /> P clipped her once and was traumatized for life. He hasn't picked up her nail clippers in over 14 months!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317642 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:51:05 +0000 littlecasita1122 317642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've done it a couple times :( My husband had to cut one of our bandaids to fit over our LO's finger! I've tried filing and it just doesn't work...his nails grow so fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317635 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:37:37 +0000 pregnantbee 317635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did maybe the 1st or 2nd day we had him home from the hospital. He hardly cried, but I felt terrible. I put the smallest bandaid we had on him, and it was huge. I've since either bitten or filed his nails instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317631 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:31:40 +0000 HLK208 317631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! The thumb too. I felt SO bad! It happens though. A lot of my mom friends have done it too. Really, the blood just keeps flowing out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317625 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:29:19 +0000 cyndistar3 317625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh how sad :( I clipped the tip of Lillian's finger the very first time I tried cutting her nails! She didn't even cry but I did, I felt terrible. Mind you, it happened within a minute of me thinking how good I was because I never clipped Caidence's fingers in the whole almost 4 years of her life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317624 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:28:56 +0000 autumnlove 317624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:-( I'm sorry! I cut LO's pinky finger with Tweezerman nail scissors during her first month! I had to trim a bandaid and cover her hand with a sock so she wouldn't mess with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-clipped-her-thumb-with-nail-clippers#post-317622 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:25:28 +0000 mediagirl 317622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my, the blood. I thought it would never stop. It looks horrible now. It's soooo deep, I feel awful. It happened this morning and now I have to send her to her first day of daycare tomorrow with a boo boo. :-( </p> <p>From now on, we file. Has anyone else ever chopped off their lo's fingertip with the baby fingernail clippers? </p>
