My aunt said she did the same thing when my cousin was a baby.

I’ve done it too🤷🏻‍♀️

Accidents happen. Doesn't make you a terrible mother. My fiance clipped our sons lip buckling him into his carseat. My sister clipped her sons finger. My son fell and hit his head on a table, and busted his lip once on the wall, both while I was a few feet away. Another nephew tumbled down the stairs. My friend's daughter fell off the couch and broke her elbow. None of these things make a terrible mother. They're accidents. A moment in time. Remember, because things will happen in the future and children get hurt: "Horrible mothers don't worry about being horrible."

Ugh I needed each and every one of these comments. Thank you all 💙

I bit my son's nails for quite a few months lol now I clip them and have no issue !

It happens. I still kept clipping. He's 2 years old and it only happened twice. No need to give up. Maybe just do it in a room with better lighting or get brighter light bulbs.

I did it a few months back to my daughter trust me it happens

I did that to my son when he was little 😭 started filing them after that

It's okay, it has happened to almost everyone at least once. You're definitely not a bad mama!

It doesn’t make you a horrible mother accidents happen ❤️ it would be different if you were doing it to hurt him
