Trimming 3 month old nails

[hannah2034]

What’s best to use for this?

Nail file or biting them yourself

Bite them

I liked the Tommee Tippee nail clippers. They're a good size for a baby and have stayed nice and sharp. Used them from the start until now (DS is 4 now).

Nibble them.

I used to file them.

Perfect thank you 🙏🏼

Beware of clippers. I cut a bit off the end of DDs finger cos she moved! But it regrew .... phew!

I’ve never got on with filing their nails. I’ve just cut them while they slept for both of mine.

Biting them? wtf?

baby nail scissors OP

Baby nail scissors. Careful with clippers as you have less control - the end of the fingers is very vascularized so it will bleed A LOT if you cut it (my friend did this and it looked horrible)

Okay I’m gonna get some baby nail scissors and cut them while she sleeps, wish me luck! Really hope I don’t cut her finger 😬

Just take your time and you'll be fine :) the only time I've thought i might have gone too short is when I was rushing!

Thanks for the support! I did them and no finger cuts! Used the tommee tippee scissors and they were ideal 👌🏻

👏🏻 I find it almost impossible to go too short with the scissors. I still use the baby ones on my 5 year old. Clippers are very easy to snip skin with.

Honestly I found scissors easiest when they are asleep of feeding

Biting is much easier than scissors which can slip. Try it.
