Cutting baby nails

I feel your pain, my little boy hates it as well. The best I've got is to put on his favourite tv show, sit him on your lap facing outwards and hug him tight, holding the hand/finger you want to trim in one hand and the clippers in the other. I use the baby nail clippers as never got on well with scissors. Then once it's done sign all done to him as he know that and just hug and praise him. He's got a bit better but when he was really bad I used to just cut 1 or 2 nails everyday to keep on top of it but not stress him out too much.
I've also heard it's good to cut them after a bath as they're softer but I work evenings and that's when my husband baths him so that's not an option as dad won't cut nails 😂

I used to use those baby electric files but find they’re a bit useless now that the nails are a lot stronger. I just use a mini nail clipper, and always have to put on something like miss Rachel. I always say to her I’m going to cut your nails now, please can you sit still for me because I don’t want to hurt you, and I sing songs and and keep it entertaining. I count it down as I cut it…like I say ohh 6 more to go you’re doing so well. Always works for me, sometimes she will watch me cutting it because she finds it interesting?😂

I always try and do them after a bath his nails are so much softer but honestly it stresses me out because the way he pulls back 😞 I’m going to try the nail clippers next time and see how I get on with them.

miss Rachel is his mummy 😂 he loves that woman so I’ll see if that works and if he lets me cut his nails whilst watching her. The whole nail cutting process is just stressful for me lol

Yep! Literally just done them this evening! We hate it, but they were so long and she had scratched herself while at nursery on her face (felt bad) but we also put it off.

We do it while giving a bottle. She literally pulls away now. But I'll give the bottle and sing a nursery song and my partner will just be hold her hand down to do it
