If she notices what I'm doing, she screams bloody murder! (she's only 5 weeks) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704845 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 10:22:48 +0000 NerdBee 704845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO must watch gangnam style while I trim his nails. No other video will captivate his attention for as long as gangnam style. I only let him watch it when I trim his nails so he hasn't gotten bored of it yet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704750 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:58:14 +0000 swurlygurl 704750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is pretty young still, so I can do it while she's nursing. Although, I EP, so letting her 'nurse' (really just ends up being light comfort sucking) is a treat for her, so she's really happy and doesn't mind me trimming her nails at that point, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704706 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:45:36 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 704706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to do M's when he'd fall asleep nursing then suddenly he stopped falling asleep! Now I use my phone with a baby e. video. It's the only time he sees videos and he's OBSESSED. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704705 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:45:25 +0000 pelikila 704705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a baby, nursing or asleep in the car seat. As a toddler, DH cuts his nails at the same time so DS can watch, sometimes it is singing songs, sometimes it is blatant bribery with a graham cracker or Curious George on Netflix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704700 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:43:13 +0000 autumnlove 704700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wait until she is fast asleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704678 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:37:05 +0000 NovBaby1112 704678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i let her watch tv while i trim her nails, she is so fascinated by it that it distracts her for a few mins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704571 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:09:48 +0000 regberadaisy 704571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: hahha she is fascinated by the balls popping and just sits there and stares. When a ball flies out then she lunges for one to hold but then goes back to staring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704568 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:09:16 +0000 mrsjazz 704568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We trim her nails as a team. I sit LO in my lap and DH holds her hands still while I trim. It's the only way we can do it because she moves around too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704554 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:05:36 +0000 sorrycharlie 704554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha! she doesn't lunge for it? </p> <p>when O was small, I'd do it while she slept. now she sleeps in her crib - so I admit to turning on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and doing it while she's distracted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-trimming-secret-weapon#post-704551 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:04:44 +0000 bunnylove08 704551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when I was nursing I would trim her nails.
