@regelbaby, because when they discharged my son from the hospital on his discharge paper it said not to cut his nails until his pediatrician said I could
My dr. said use an emery board for the first month because babies blood doesn't clot well. To each their own.
both my kids never used mittens, they were pointless to me.
I used clippers right away.. I was very careful tho bug most of the time I just chewed his nails... Y would a doctor say you can't use clippers ? @wyattsmommy91 @meejay22 also I barely used mittens. How else is a newborn baby suppose to learn how things feel if he's always got stupid mittens on his hands lol my midwife told me to avoid mittens so I did my son never wore em
until the babies Dr says u can start cutting their nails. my son never really used the mittens cause they fell off all the time.
Really eh? It just goes to show how every nurse/pediatrician/doctor/midwife has different ways of doing things. @wyattsmommy91 @meejay22 @mrschavez
