At the beginning we were a bit scared of cutting his nails, his little fingers were so tiny and precious but it had to be done. We got some of those tiny little nail clippers and Jamie gave it a go. Very delicately jamie moved from finger to finger and after about 20mins of precision clipping he finished.
It seems as though only days later his little nails had grown again, i could feel him clawing me on my boob while i was feeding him. On went the mittens again.
Like i said he had the mittens on pretty much for the first 6 weeks but after that his little hands were starting to get to big for the mittens and he had his fists shut all the time. So we ditched the mittens and just tried to keep on top of clipping his nails.
No matter how we clip or file his nails, there is always a sharp little edge and he scratches himself. He woke up this morning with his arms wiggled out of his swaddle (again) and he has 2 scratched on his face and Jamie only trimmed and tried to file his nails 2 days ago.
