Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Agh, I am an awful mom

I was clipping A's fingernails earlier, she flailed, and I cut her finger. It bled so much, I thought I cut the tip off. D@mn Safety First clippers. More like safety last.

She cried for like 30 minutes straight. :(


For this child I prayed, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.

Re: Agh, I am an awful mom

  • Awww :( the good thing is that she'll never remember it. It happens! I haven't cut A's finger yet thankfully. If you want to feel better, my Aunt was cutting one of her friend's son's fingernails and took off his entire pinky nail. Yeah.

  • Eek! That makes me feel a little better..

    I am scarred for life. I may never be able to cut her nails again. :(

  • I went to wipe Ry's nose this morning. He moved at the last second and i poked him right in the eye...with my nail. I hope and pray that he blinked before I got him. I feel like the worst mom ever.

    I've also cut him while clipping his nails :(

  • Aw, it does happen.  I did that to DS about 2 months ago after a bath. I felt terrible!  He did feel better soon after and it healed quickly. It's ok mama.

  • I did this a couple of days ago.  I don't think I got her as bad, didn't bleed and she didn't even notice.  But I still felt just awful.  She'll be ok.  We have to take care of those nails or they claw their little faces.
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

  • I'm so nervous I'm gonna do that that I just take a nail file to him. I'm a total klutz though.

  • I'm scared of nail clippers near L, so I still bite his nails.  I felt really bad one time when I accidently scratched his butt with my nail while I was changing him and it bled.  Luckily I don't think he noticed.

  • Gah, there is a huge blood blister on her finger now. It looks terrible. ::cries::

    She is a finger sucker, I should probably leave it alone right? I feel like I need to disinfect it or something...

  • How could anyone clip a baby's fingernails when baby is awake???

    I hope I never cut my baby boy's finger, it must feel horrible! I did once however bite his finger, when feeding him, he kept putting his hands in his mouth, he was wearing mittens, and I had both hands busy, one holding bottle, other holding LO, so I thought it would be easy move his hand with my mouth by pulling from the mitten, well... I bite LO finger and I started crying, it is the most awful feeling...  Specially because he cried so hard... he was a few weeks old btw...

    I felt like a bad bad momma  Sad

  • When Kirstin was born she had long nails. I tried to cut them and cut her finger. Ever since then DH has banned me from clipping nails. It happens, at least she won't remember.

  • I've done this.  It wasn't my proudest moment  :(   But, she recovered :)
  • I did this once a few weeks ago. I felt awful. I still do.
  • This happen to me a few weeks ago..She screamed forever and bled for a while! I felt terrible..I can still see it on her thumb, even though it is healed.  Of course it happened 3 days before her 4 month checkup.  I don't think I put her down for the rest of the night until she went to bed.  I will never try to cut her nails when she is awake again!

  • I just did this like 2 weeks ago and it did seem like it bled really bad, but she didn't even notice, didn't cry or anything.  I felt horrible.  It healed in a day or so though, but I won't use those safety first clippers anymore, they are terrible.

  • Its okay Mama. I did the exact same thing. I think A handled it better than I did. And I had so prided myself on not having clipped her, but sure enough it happened. She healed up just fine:)

    Although, I haven't clipped her nails since. I keep making my mom do it for me!

    Oh don't worry! It happens, that's why I just bite his nails off with my teeth

    I do the same thing.  I haven't cut Liana's nails once yet since they she has been born. Embarrassed  They are still thin and flimsy enough that I can usually peel them off and when I have to, I bite them.

  • Been there. But I didn't notice the first one and then did it to a second finger on the other hand. My husband said it looked like a scene from MASH.

    I now use a file. Takes longer, but no chance of blood!
