mum guilt

today i went round my parents house and my dad (baby’s grandad) always cuts his nails for him, never been an issue we use the baby nail clippers they get trimmed no issues what so ever today unfortunately grandad clipped his skin, completely an accident baby’s fingers / nails are so small, we’re always careful but of course accidents happen and it has happened, baby bled a tiny little bit and just had a tiny bit of his skin clipped it was a complete accident baby has had lots of cuddles and kisses and boob to try and make him feel better, however my mum guilt is killing me😔

Iv done this more than once! My husband won’t do his nails for this reason it’s a horrible feeling though the mum guilt!

@Amber That’s why I didn’t want to do it but my dads gone in a mood with me because I asked him to do them and he cut baby by accident so now he’s gone in a mood with me for asking him cause he’s upset cause he cut him

I use an electric nail filer because I’ve been so terrified of doing that. 😭

@Erin didn’t think of that😞

This happened more than once for me as well. It is a horrible feeling, but their nails are so tiny, it happens.

I've done this before! It happens, baby will heal and forget about it ❤️ it happens, don't beat yourself up!

It’s prob bc he feels guilty/bad even though it’s an accident x

Ahh my son went from being born with an extra pink down to 4 on one hand at 4m old. Dad cut his skin, pretty bad, it healed up fine but we brought the file after that. It’s hard but we are all learning and baby won’t remember. Cut each other some slack, we all feel terrible when these things happen but they are accidents. Baby is okay and that’s the main thing xx

Absolutely no worries. I accidentally got my niece when she was younger (and like your dad I felt so sad I did and told my sister I couldn’t do it anymore), so when I learned about it, that’s what I’ve been using with him.

Use a filer

@Erin I use the same because I feared cutting him
