Try doing it when they are sleeping so they aren't moving their hands around or use a nail file.

I cut my son too, felt awful! The nail and skin is still fused when they're young. Agree with pp a nail file all the way! The nails are so soft they literally just flake away with one or two swipes.

When I was a baby my mom clipped part of my toe when clipping my nails. She still won't cut anyone's nails now ahaha

Im Too nervous to clip my sons, I just bite them.

The hospital told me to only file the nails not to cut cause they are still paper thin.

Just put pressure on it. I did the same thing to my baby girl a week ago. She cried I freaked out, and she stopped crying after a few minutes and that was that. It happens :)

Yea I agree with pp I use baby nail files I bought at babies r us for like $2 for 10. They do a good job. Try those. Don't beat yourself up about it mommy. It's just a lesson learned. It's ok.

They told me use a nail file and not clippers or scissors . I would've def used clippers and not thought twice otherwise

Things happen! I've been using nail scissors and they seem to be much easier than clippers.

& pressure usually stops the bleeding .

Oh I can imagine the guilt ! I would feel so bad too but accidents happen . I'd try to cut their nails when they're sleeping so they won't move so much , maybe just pull away at the most .

I've done this to 2/3 of my children. Things happen. Try not to beat yourself up over it.
