Which do you find best for cutting baby nails?

[nappyaddict]

Clippers or scissors?

Clippers for us - never had any accidents

I just bit them, much easier (and nicer ).

Bloody devil's own job trying to persuade her to let me cut them now she's 3.5 though.

Scissors for me (but the blunt baby sort obv.).

Clippers, for babies and toddlers

I never cut her nails. DP always bit them

I bite them. The baby clippers are useless IMO.

All those of you who say that the baby is so cute you could eat them, now's your chance!

Biting them gives them jagged edges though.

My sister always bit her kids nails.

I find scissors the easiest way.

DH uses the tiny clippers that you can buy in boots.

I think it's just a matter of what you find easiest really. Have a go at each method and see which is best for you.

I'm not really bothered about which people think is easiest - that's personal preference i think. I'm really wanting to know which ones don't leave jagged edges.

I always bit them off My mum did it to us ......

normal nail scissors here, clippers were useless. scissors leave a smoother edge imo

clippers - never understood the biting thing
how can you get them really short and not jagged like that?

normal scissors here

nail file here. recommended by someone and works a treat.

I've always just used emery boards - too scared of cutting tiny fingers

clippers - but I have sliced the odd finger

Teeth when really tiny. Clippers after 2 months or so. (Baby ones) I prefer the ones which are mini versions of adult clippers, not the ones you can buy from chemists on a thumb ring.

Nail cutting when asleep for my wriggly DS!

yes, the thumb ring ones are ridiculous, I nearly cut my own finger using them.
