Best way to cut nails?

I have a little wiggle but that is 5 weeks and 6 days. I need to cut his nails but I’m scared to use the baby clippers on him with how much he wiggles and if I try when he’s sleeping he wakes up.

Yas it is amazing. I love how if you push to hard it stops so you can't hurt baby

This is the best!!!! It does nothing to their skin. My baby literally just sits there and allows me to file his nails with no resistance.

Thank you. I just ordered one off of amazon. I’m scared I’ll hurt him.

their nails are soft so I usually just use a file to soften the edges

I use clippers right after I feed when she’s happiest

Well it’s never easy, so just do what you can. A nail here and a nail there. Sometimes my husband holds baby’s hand while I flip

I’ve tired biting them off lol he hates that he will scream and pull. I’m so scared I’ll hurt him. My other three kiddos weren’t this hard when it comes to cutting their nails as babies.

I’ve been biting them off. The nurse recommended it because it is less risky and their nails are so soft.
