  I clip D's nails when he is either in his high chair (and I make sure I clean it up, of course, lol) or in the carseat. If you're finding that clippers aren't working for you, maybe try a nail file.

  After 1.5 years TTC, IUI #2= BFP 12/2/12

  I've always wondered... how you can do it when they are asleep?  When my daughter is asleep, she's in the crib and if it's at night, she's in the dark and in footed pjs and a sleepsack.  How can you get close enough, get their feet out and see what you're doing without waking them up?  Her toenails are the worst.  It's impossible to see them even in the light when she's awake and they curl downwards so it's really hard to get the clippers under them.  Will a file work if they curl down?

  They sell headlamps at Home Depot type stores and I used to use those to go in and trim DS nails while he slept. I've held a small flashlight in my mouth too I could only get to the nails when he was little sleeping in a swing or car seat or when he was in a toddler bed. DS2 lets me trim them while he's awake. It helps to distract them with a toy or tv or something while you do it.
