If you can't stop the bleeding, you need to go to A&E now. Otherwise don't worry too much.

How old is your baby and how much is it bleeding?

DinosandRegrets678 · 24/07/2025 02:17

Also FYI my friend did this on the morning of her baby's christening đŸ˜… happens all the time.

My DS is 11 months and cutting his nails is one of the things I hate most đŸ˜‚ I'd rather change 5 pooey nappies

He’ll be fine then. These things happen.

As above, he'll be fine.

So what are you "extremely worried" about then?

MarioLink · 24/07/2025 11:55

Nothing to worry about. It was a small cut and it's stopped bleeding and been washed now. It happens.

KittenyChops · 24/07/2025 11:56

In future just bite them with your own teeth. Have a little nibble. Far safer for a baby

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 24/07/2025 12:03

Why are you so worried?
The bleeding and crying were minor and have stopped anyway.

Beckyducey · 24/07/2025 14:02

I’m a ftm so worry about everything so just scared it will get infected some of the replies I’ve got are really rude I thought parents suppo Each other

My DH cut our eldest’s finger at about that age and has never trimmed either child’s nails since which is very annoying when it’s such a tricky job! Babies heal incredibly quickly so you probably won’t even be able to see the cut soon. I know it’s hard, but try not to get in your head about it.
