Cutting your baby's nails

Every couple of days Pyper has a cut on her face, and so the thought of trying to cut her fingernails would send her through the roof! And then we would think "oh no not another battle", as her hands would fly around. It got a lot worse before it got better so what we thought we would do is to basically try something new.

Everytime we need to cut her fingernails which is usually once a week, we used to wait until she was feeding so it's a lot easier than holding her hands and trying to cut them straight off the bat. However that way she's mostly interested drinking her bottle and not insterested in having her nails cut. So what to do? Fortunately I've come across this little video at about.com which I found quite useful. Check it out:
