hello friends baby let's scout mania
here and today we're gonna discuss every
parent's worst nightmare
cutting baby nails now this important
routine should be done frequently to
prevent baby from scratching their face
or your own now because I've never
personally done this with my new baby
Gaspar
I've enlisted the help of my wife
Johanna hi she's gonna help teach you
and I how easy it is to cut baby nails
now without any further ado let's cut to
the chase
you mean trim yeah trimmers
so being that baby nails are so cute and
tiny there are many varieties of a
female Clippers out there that are more
precise than the adult versions while
some come with lights and music the key
takeaway is that they are all intended
to help you avoid cutting baby skin
now these safety nail clippers can
become dull over time so it's not a bad
idea to have a few lying around the
house for today's video we're gonna use
the roost nail clipper now it is best to
do this while baby is asleep but if you
can't just have them sit inside your lap
so that it's as if you're cutting your
own nails you could also give them
something to distract them like a mobile
or a toy or a light and sound generator
some families even like to do this after
giving their baby a bath so that the
nails are softer and that baby is calmer
alright so let's get to it
since you're right-handed you're gonna
take your left hand hold his hand and
push on the top of it with your thumb to
spread out his fingers newborns tend to
clench their fists a lot too
a little pressure to stretch the fingers
out and the key point to make
cut you'll make more the fingers you
need to make an arch so you will do one
two third cuts to shape the top one and
then the other side to make a triangle
and then a third one to shape the top
okay good yeah it's nice for the Jose
you only need to do one straight cut it
doesn't need to be in an arch to prevent
Ingram's perfect and you can use a nail
file like this one from roost to just
trim the hang pieces on the side there
glue so it doesn't snag on anything
mmm cool where do you do that I thought
it was gonna be it's not that bad and
some babies are born with very long
nails so you might want to pack a pair
of clippers to bring with you to the
hospital
and if you actually ever do cut your
baby skin happens to the best of us and
if you're really worried you can talk to
your pediatrician well I hope this video
helps out all of you
it's a lot easier than I thought it was
going to be don't forget to check out
