Tips on cutting baby’s nails?

Question

My 11-month-old raptor will not sit still any longer for the little clippers and I can’t take advantage of naps because she will wake up if I tried. The baby nail files only split and sharpened her nails. I’m this close to letting her just be feral. Haha.
How do you ladies do it? Please share your strategies. 
Thank you!

Letting her be feral 🤣🤣🤣 these things are a godsend for the little wolverines.

Answer

I have my mom do them 😂 
For me he runs and squirms like a wild animal. For her he sits on her lap and lets her do it without a fight. 
I read somewhere to have someone that isn’t their primary caregiver do it and it’s worked wonders for us!
