Cutting nails - such an idiot!
I was cutting Neve's nails with baby nail clippers this morning and I cut the end of her finger because I got the angle wrong - It bled a lot and I was nearly hysterical but Neve didn't seem even remotely concerned. Spoke to the doctor who said not to worry and to apply pressure and thankfully she is fine and just has a little scab and a very short nail! 
Can't believe how guilty I feel, makes me feel sick that I cut my 5 week old baby's finger. Please tell me I am not the only one to have done this!

I also stupidly carried picked his bouncy chair up with him in it and it slipped out of my hand and I dropped the chair, again felt like the worst mum EVER, and finally picked him up out the bath and went to wrap a towel around him and caught his widgy with my nail, took some skin off OUCH.
So there you have it I've had my stupid moments too, he still loves me though lol.

I did it too when did was only tiny, I was definitely more upset than she was
I've just done the same thing today... I feel terrible... There was blood and crying and she's not had any naps today and I'm still trying to get her off to sleep now... It's her thumb she likes to try to suck. I find the nail file no good and biting them off too difficult. we were advised not to use scissors. I think I'm coming to the conclusion that her ooccasionally scratching her face is better than the alternative of blood plasters and calpol and upset baba. Having read the posts I might give the scissors a go while she's sleeping but would rather leave it for now than have one very upset baba (and of course I feel terrible)
