What is the best tool to cut baby's finger nails?

The little baby scissors are the safest. As someone else said, try to cut the baby's nails when they are sleeping, it is MUCH easier. A baby's nails are soo tiny, even with the special clippers made for a baby (Gerber makes one, and Safety 1st makes another), you can accidentally pinch or even snip their skin unless you are really, really careful. I stuck with the scissors until my babies were a little older.What is the best tool to cut baby's finger nails?

Baby nail clippers have worked well for me.
There is a special rounded tipped scissor that is used to cut a baby's nails.





You can get it at a drug store or baby's r us.





It is easiest to cut a baby's nails while they are sleeping.
The best time to do this is while he's sleeping. The easiest way to trim the nails may be to just peel the ends off with your fingers. Your baby's nails are so soft that they'll easily rip right along the tops of his fingers. And don't worry 鈥?you won't rip the whole nail off this way. You can also file them down with an emery board, if you have the patience and can keep your baby still long enough. Otherwise, you can use a pair of baby scissors or clippers made especially for this purpose. Leave a set in the car so you can do the job while your baby's asleep in his car seat.





If you decide to trim your baby's nails with clippers while he's awake, get someone to help you hold him and keep him from wiggling too much while you clip. Or get someone to distract him so that he'll let you hold his hand still for the clipping. Make sure you have enough light to see what you're doing. Press the finger pad away from the nail to avoid nicking the skin, and keep a firm hold on your child's hand as you clip.
Get the baby nail clippers with the bulb-type handle on the end, I found those were much easier to work with. Baby's nails are paper thin and hard to cut, especially when the baby is awake and moving so when my son was very young, I bit them off as well. Weird, but true, it works.
you can use simple pointy scirssors. be sure to sterilize them first.
Bite 'em off! (That's what works best for me...)
