[blparent] trimming babies' nails

[Veronica Smith]

I have a really good friend that did exactly the same thing.  I thought,
"yuck." And my friend pointed out to me, that this was the best way since
she could not see the nails, but her tongue was the most sensitive part of
her whole body. I guess I had to agree and well you know, babies hands are
really clean. V

Angela, this may sound crude, but when my sons were babies, and they are now

26 and 23 years of age, I just bit off the long nails or used a simple emery

board. Their nails are very soft and very sharp. My rule was about babies 
and still is in general the simpler the better.
