What is the best way to cut the baby's nails? Nail scissors or nail clippers? I am just worried that I might snip off some of the skin off my baby's teeny tiny fingers...so she still has not had her nails cut.

I have baby nail scissors, nail clippers and a baby nail trimmer. I've tried them all, and found that the nail scissors is easiest to use. It looks like it'll hurt the baby, but it's actually a lot safer than using nail clippers because their nails are as thin as paper. Use the side of the scissors to push down the flesh before cutting off the whites of the nails. The best time to do it is when your baby is sleeping or after a bath.
