DS4 is in desperate need of hair tidy up, luckily hair slow growing so have managed just cutting bits off and trimming in sleep. He would not be able to tolerate hair dressers or sitting still.
Been reading about silent clippers again would have to do bits when sleeping does anyone have any experience of these or any other suggestions. Was also thinking is buying razor comb an option but not sure if would feel too strange if trying to brush back of hair with this.

Any tip for nail cutting much appreciated this is normally done 1-2 nails a night when asleep.

Thanks in advance

We do ‘this little piggy’ on DS’s fingers every night so he’s used to me handling his fingers one at a time and it becomes part of a game. It takes a while to work up to it but it’s made life a lot easier.

We cut DS’s hair by using ALL THE TREATS. We sit him on DH’s lap, put on fireman Sam, give him a massive cookie in each hand to keep them busy, and then I cut it as quickly and gently as possible.
