HELP! BLOOD!

[jessicaandrebeccasmummy]

Just cut Becky's (19 weeks) nails and she jerked at a crucial time - it is now bleeding and wont stop!

What can i do - have cut a plaster small enough and put on butwill this stop the blood?

Oh, I did this to DD1 when she was 6 months old.

Yes, it will stop, I'd ahve thought. Take the plaster off as soon as you can to help it scab. (according to DD1's ballet etacher?!)

hold tissue against fingers quite hard

Apply pressure and raise it, if you can, to stop the blood flow.

I did this to Theo when he was 2 weeks old (he was born with talons!) I held a damp cotton ball on it for ages...he was fine, but I've been scared of nail-clippers ever since!

(I was just cutting Sophia's nails...weird lol)

well it seems to have settled - the fresh air for an hour may have helped!

Will remove the blood soaked plaster whne she lets me near her again

Awww JARM! I did this to my baby when he was pathetic and tiny and ill in hospital (cringe @ the guilt)... you're not a terrible evil mummy! Promise!

Thanks FA.... im sure she will be fine in a bit, she just isnt loving me much at the moment!!!

I've done this as well! bled for aaages, plaster did the trick though. Don't worry she'll forgive you...may be a while before she forgives the nail cutters though :)

oh god, im so pleased im not the onyl one who has done it.... i just couldnt believe someone so tiny could bleed so much!
