[blparent] Trimming baby's nails

[Jennifer Jackson]

You can use an Emory board and just make it part of your regular routine to
keep the nails filed short. It would take some aggressive action to get them
short if they need to be trimmed already, but as maintenance it does work
well. You can even get really small Emory boards that are not as rough as
the ones for adults if you ask in the infant department.

bite them off. Seriously he'll be fine. It's one of those things you only do
with your own kid but it really is that easy.

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
