How to trim your baby's fingernails

Essential Dad and Parent Skills 2-11: Trimming your baby's fingernails.mp4

You have to cut your baby's fingernails once every week or so. I kid you not. If you don't they will scratch up their face and the police will come looking for you as your neighbors report suspected child abuse.

It is a pretty straightforward process but if you aren't careful you will have one seriously upset baby on your hands. So do it right.

@chibomato78 SIDS is an interesting topic because doctors will tell you truthfully they don't know what causes it. They will say that maybe it's them sleeping on their tummy, but also it's better for the baby's development if they sleep on their tummy. Huh? I think in today's day and age it is up to each parent to decide, but if they are going to sleep on their tummy, they should be watched by a parent or have a baby monitor that makes sure the baby is moving and breathing.
