We use the safety first brand clippers, I think? And by we, of course, I mean me, because DH wouldn't attempt this with a gun to his head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trimming-baby-nails#post-1508146 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:23:44 +0000 matador84 1508146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I clip. I was super scared with DH but much easier with DD. Just pull the skin back a little to give some room to clip and it's a breeze.<br /> eta: I do it most often when DD is asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trimming-baby-nails#post-1508139 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:22:47 +0000 coopsmama 1508139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: We bite them over here, too. Actually, DH is a pro at getting it done quickly and efficiently so he takes care of it most of the time. </p> <p>We had one bad experience with baby nail clippers - never again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trimming-baby-nails#post-1508134 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:21:40 +0000 Chillybear 1508134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use this<br /> <a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/safety-1st-sleepy-baby-nail-clipper-26920?site=CA&#038;utm_source=Google&#038;utm_medium=cpc_D&#038;utm_term=SF-173&#038;utm_campaign=GooglePLA&#038;CAWELAID=1338670166&#038;utm_content=pla&#038;ca_sku=SF-173&#038;ca_gpa=pla&#038;ca_kw=" rel="nofollow">http://www.diapers.com/p/safety-1st-sleepy-baby-nail-clipper-26920?site=CA&#038;utm_source=Google&#038;utm_medium=cpc_D&#038;utm_term=SF-173&#038;utm_campaign=GooglePLA&#038;CAWELAID=1338670166&#038;utm_content=pla&#038;ca_sku=SF-173&#038;ca_gpa=pla&#038;ca_kw=</a>{keyword}</p> <p>I sit Fi on my lap facing away from me and hold her hand and do one finger at a time the little led light on the end really helps me make sure i dont trim anymore than her nail </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trimming-baby-nails#post-1508120 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:19:13 +0000 edelweiss 1508120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i use the nail scissors also. i have heard of folks biting/tearing them though and think that's totally legit. it's hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trimming-baby-nails#post-1508118 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:18:39 +0000 autumnlove 1508118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tweezerman baby nail scissors </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trimming-baby-nails#post-1508113 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:17:57 +0000 junebugmama 1508113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um…I bite them. :grin: I clipped him once, and he bleed, and then couldn't do it anymore.

So I've been peeling/tearing them. Am I the only one? What do you do? </p>
