  Firstly, it is essential to purchase a baby specific nail clipper, which is not only compact but also suitable for the curvature of the baby's nails. More importantly, it can store the nails cut by the baby, avoiding them from falling onto the bed and injuring the baby's skin.

  2. It is best to choose to cut the baby's nails after they fall asleep, and after entering deep sleep, so as to avoid the baby crying or fidgeting and making it difficult to operate.

  3. Baby's nails cannot be cut too deep at once. This will make the baby feel uncomfortable in the finger area and there is a high possibility of pain, which can cause the baby to cry and refuse to cut their nails again.

  4. After trimming the nails, be sure to use a nail file with a small nail clipper to smooth out the edges, especially when trimming the sides of the nails to avoid sharp edges. You can try cutting each finished baby's fingernail on your own skin, and only if there is no obvious scraping of the skin can it be considered a good cut.
