When I noticed a little scratch on my infant’s face last night, I thought time to trim those itty bitty nails. I know some parents cringe just thinking about clipping baby nails. Personally, it’s not the act of trimming that bothers me. It’s trying to hold my little one still during the process. I feel like such a brute holding each finger before the clipper, knowing that my baby wants nothing to do with the process. Oh, in case you’re wondering, I’ve tried the “clip while they sleep trick”–it does work! But, sometimes when there is a serious sharp nail offender, you simply can’t wait for your bundle of joy to fall asleep. After all, it’s heartbreaking to see a scratched up face–and know you could have likely prevented the scratches!

As luck would have it, last night I clipped all but two of my baby’s nails–neither of us could see the job through. This morning my baby woke up with multiple scratches. Yikes. Guilt.

Hindsight is 20/20, right? Well, wish I had tried a Snappi Nail Clipper. Apparently, the butterfly holds a baby’s interest during the mini manicure. Plus, the design conceals the sharp edges and collects the nail clippings, making safer and easier clipping sessions.

Have a wee lil’ manicure tip of your own to share with other squeamish (or not so) parents of little ones?
