I'm too afraid to use the clippers and the file/emery board seems inefficient. So I've been peeling/tearing them. Am I the only one? What do you do?
-
@MrsH: I think Blackbird suggested these to me. Best thing ever!
-
Second the nail scissors. So much easier to control!!
-
Dh is a rock star at it! I'm getting better but lo is getting so wiggly!
-
@Smurfette: we have those scissors and I love them!
In the beginning I just use emery board.
-
Scissors here too! Although my mil does it for us lol.
-
I use clippers, and get nervous every time I have to use them. I'll have to look into those scissors!
-
Um…I bite them.
I clipped him once, and he bleed, and then couldn't do it anymore. My Mom told me she always bit ours and so that's what I did. Now when J2 has a little hang nail he shoves his finger in my mouth lol

Tweezerman baby nail scissors

i use the nail scissors also. i have heard of folks biting/tearing them though and think that's totally legit. it's hard!
-
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
-
@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.
We had one bad experience with baby nail clippers - never again!
-
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.
eta: I do it most often when DD is asleep. -
I think i'm in the minority here but I've had zero issues cutting LO's nails since she was born! 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.

I use clippers on both girls.
