My fear of the fingernail clippers just became true :(

Just when I feel comfortable enough to clip DD's nails when she is awake and I clipped the end of her thumb.  :(  I was just about done and she was laughing and jerked and I cut the tip of the skin on her thumb.  It kept bleeding and she kept crying.  I feel terrible!  I finally got a bandaid to stay on it and got her calmed done.  I think I will stick to cutting them when she is asleep.

    I did the same thing about a month ago.  It was right before bed and poor little guy would not quit crying or calm down. And I of course cried with him because I felt so bad.  Now I do one a day. Ha.  And I am super careful.  And if they get too long sometimes he will come home from the babysitters with them done. :) It works for me!

    I am glad I am not the only one!  Oh and 4 month olds should not have bandaids b/c I just about had a heart attack when feeding her cereal.  She was sucking on her fingers and I noticed it was gone....Ahhh.  After some quick searching I found it stuck to her outfit.  Phew.

    I think that it's a right of passage to clip the ends of LO's fingers with the clipper.  DH has done it once and I've done it once.  Mine was way worse, he bled for a while and cried until he nursed next :(  Now I put on baby einstein songs on youtube and let him watch them while I clip his nails.

    Same thing happened to me a few days ago.  DD didn't even notice, but the bleeding wouldn't stop! 

    I felt like the worst.mom.ever.

    Don't feel bad. I did this when DD was about a month old! I cried harder than she did...

    My easy button is putting her on my lap and turning on the t.v. We don't let her watch t.v. except for when I am sucking the nose or clipping nails. She is mesmerized and I can get them done quickly and easily.
