Nail scissors are not a difficult item to use. You need to make sure you are relaxed and your baby is relaxed before starting any grooming activity. You may want to try doing this while your baby is sleeping at first so you can get more comfortable with the task, or make sure that you have another person nearby to assist with distracting your baby so you can fully focus on the task at hand. You will place the scissors in your hand properly and hold your little one’s hand with the opposite hand. Then you bring the slightly open scissors near your baby’s fingernail and snip off the end. You may have to do this multiple times per nail to ensure that you do not have any sharp edges. Repeat the same process with their toenails. When you are trimming fingernails you want to have a more rounded edge to the nail. When you are trimming toenails make sure that you cut straight across so your baby does not get ingrown toenails.
