    How often do you cut your baby's nails?

    I feel like i am constantly cutting DDs fingernails, once or twice a week and i always have to remember to do it when she's asleep. How often does everyone else cut their baby's nails?

    Every few days and she still seems to manage to scratch herself

    About once a week but I actually bite them off as cutting them leaves sharp edges. I do it in the bath when the nail is softer as well.

    About once a week, I need to do it again now but keep forgetting, we use mittens at night otherwise he'd scratch his eyes out for a feed before I get to him LOL

    OMG, I was just thinking about this this morning when I was cutting Elijah's nails yet AGAIN! I can't say, but I'd have to guess that once a week would be the average. I swear it feels like ALWAYS!
