i bite hers too. i did have a baby scissors but managed to cut her finger twice, it didnt bleed at first so i carried on and then cut the next one. i felt so bad, i threw the scissors out straight away. i was in a right state when dh came home.
Also like some others that have posted I bite my nails and have done since i have had teeth. There have been a few occassions where i have just stopped and my nails have grown quite long but it never lasts.
Im OK at doing finger nails now, but am i the only one who thinks toe nails are twice as bad to do?
I use nail clippers on evie's nails, sometimes nail scissors. at first she wriggled a lot but has gotten used to it now and if i do it whilst she's engrossed in her favourite programme she barely notices and is very very good. I give her lots of praise after i have done them.
I think just like bathing/teeth cleaning etc, nail cutting is something we need to teach our children is a normal thing which needs to be done and get them into a good habbit with it.
it just hadn't occurred to me that there was any other way of doing it than clipping or cutting!
I just do them when he's asleep, because I know he will not sit still for me to do them.
