Be sooooooo careful! One wrong move…and snip! Don’t worry we’ll show you how to cut babies nails without hurting baby!
Don’t know about you guys but cutting babies nails can be scary.
Their perfect unblemished skin just micro-millimeters away from sharp metal cutters!
One wrong turn…ouch…pinch…cut!
Yikes…The thought of it raises the hair on my skin.
We decided to ask some real Moms from our Facebook Page about this and they gave us some awesome tips.
From real Moms, tips on how to cut your babies nails
Distraction - Distracting a baby can keep them still long enough so you can cut their nails safely.
You can make a game or just wait for them to eat! Love this idea…Yum yum.
Jessica P. - “We did and then I started doing it while he is eating. It's perfect!”
Kassandra Y - “I tip I learned while trying to my little ones nails is to lay her on her changing table and make a game out of it.”
Sleeping - Do it while baby is sleeping so she’s completely still and you can take your time. They say when baby naps you should nap…but maybe first cut their nails.
Brittany C. - “I do it when my girl falls asleep”
Delilah A. - “I wait until she’s asleep then I do it and it’s a breeze.”
Megan L. - “I also try to do it while he sleeps. I went without doing it for a while an regretted it the second he scratched my face”
Reverse Grip - Love this tip because it’s more about technique and you can do it while baby is sleeping or eat! Just don’t know how to use this for their toes….hmmmm…
Joanna L. - “…do it backwards .. so instead of doing it from the front I do it from the back .. so I'm looking at Palm of hand”
Use a nail file - Love love love this. Why risk cutting them when you can file. It might take longer but it sure takes the anxiety out of it all!
Kayln B - “I use the electric file from amazon! I cut my baby girl once and swore i wouldn’t cut them again.”
