[blparent] Trimming baby's nails

[Tammy]

Hi,I

I just use baby nail clippers and do it while the baby's in a sling or 
something so I have both hands.  I carry the baby around and sing to her and 
cut her nails like that.  She's pretty good about letting me do it but we've 
been doing it that way since she was very small so she's used to it.  I 
tried using the files but neither of us liked them, and I don't like chewing 
her nails and I have never done it with any of my kids.  My mom said to do 
it while your kid's asleep so they don't move, and she says she used to cut 
our nails when we were in a car seat or similar.

Hello,

What do some of you do to trim a babys nails? Declan's have grown quite
long, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I know a lot of blind
people just chew them off, but I'm worried about bacteria and infection
since saliva will mingle with his skin. I can ask someone to do it, but
so far, everyone I've asked is leary about doing it even mothers of 30
years. So any advice?

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter
