How to Cut Your Baby’s Nails?

How fast do your baby’s nails grow? The answer is 0.1mm a day! It does not seem like much, but it is advisable to trim your baby’s nails when they extend beyond their fingertips, as long or sharp nails can cause them to scratch themselves. How do you cut your baby’s nails without the stress of cutting them?

Ensure Sufficient Light

Brighten up the room to get a clear view of your baby’s nails – they’re tinier than you think! Proper lighting helps you avoid mishaps and ensures you trim just the right amount.

Pro-tip: Bonus points if your nail trimmer comes with a built-in light that shines directly on the tiny nail – just like our Lollababy Bladeless Nail Trimmer.

The Best Time Is Nap Time

Cutting your baby’s nails is the easiest when your little one is drowsy or falling into a deep sleep. When they’re relaxed, there’s less fidgeting, less anxiety, and less danger of cutting them accidentally.

Pro-tip: Quiet nail trimmers like ours work with a soft hum that won’t wake your baby up.

Keep a Gentle But Firm Grip

Babies love to wiggle, so it’s key to hold their finger firmly to avoid any sudden surprises. A steady grip ensures you can trim their nails safely and efficiently.

Pro-tip: Choose a bladeless nail trimmer like ours to skip the stress of blades! Our Lollababy Nail Trimmer works by filing the nail down instead of cutting it. It also comes with different nail filing tips to accompany your children’s growing years.
