Video: How do you clip a baby's nails?Clipping Baby NailsClipping baby nails is similar to clipping an adult's, except that you should gently apply pressure to the end of the finger to pull the tip back from the nail a bit to avoid accidentally cutting the finger. Keep a firm hold on the baby's hand and cut fingernails along the curve of the finger. Toenails should be cut straight across. Use an emery board to smooth out rough edges.

The best time to clip your baby's nails is when your baby is asleep to avoid the baby wiggling and perhaps causing you to cut a finger. Be sure to have ample light and use a pair of clippers or scissors made especially for the purpose of trimming baby nails.
