Challenge is - how do I clip my 8 week olds nails? It is scary since her fingers are so little but…

wait til she's sleeping. that's what I do

I filed my daughters nails. she kept scratching her face n leaving marks. she has scratches on her nose and next to get eyes. I was too scared to clip them

Kinda sounds gross but I used to bite my daughters nails off when she was that little. She was my first baby so I was paranoid. But I know they sell tiny baby nail clippers.

Ok I'll try that @babybishop2015

Try a nail filer so you don't accidentally cut to deep

Wait until baby is sleeping and use a good light so you don't mistakenly cut :) because I know with my baby skin blends right in with his nails .

@shorty02, My daughter does the same, I had to start keeping mittens on her.

Good idea - that is a major reason why I've avoided attempting to clip. That is safer, thanks. @angelsmommy,

I thought about mittens but she discovered her hands n constantly sucking n sobbing on them. I'd be washing the mittens way too often

I thought about biting them but then chickened out @kaylaskibinski Thanks for the lighting tip too @sassymama29

Np. I thought about that too but I realize my teeth was too big lol and I couldn't see how deep I was going the nail clipper was better

@8yearsapart, I used the Emory board up until last two weeks started using the baby nail clipper. Only when he's on the breast asleep. Was nervous as hell but it worked out.

My mom did It for me at the hospital and that was 8 weeks ago. It is very nerve wrecking @nurseriri
