[blparent] trimming babies' nails

[Sherry DeFrancesco]

Hi Angela and parents,

I have used emery board filing and gently cutting while our nephew was 
asleep--this works well in terms of him not squirming and moving while 
trying to cut gently. It works well when the child is asleep, especially if 
your child is a deep sleeper...hope this can be helpful to you!!
Best wishes, Sherry
