I cut baby's finger! I was clipping dd's fingernails and cut her thumb accidentally. It won't stop bleeding and she and…

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.
