As a postpartum doula, one of the most requested things parents ask me to help them with is trimming their baby’s nails. And I get it! It can be intimidating to trim your little one’s nails. You don’t want to trim too much or accidentally cut their fingers. But their nails can feel sharp, like little razor blades, when they grow out, so it’s important to keep them short, so they don’t scratch themselves.
