Cutting nails

Is anyone else having major issues cutting their toddlers nails ? My little girl will just about let me do her fingernails without much commotion but her toe nails are a no go. She screams. Thrashes about. Gets soooo worked up im at a loss with what to do

Do it when she’s sleeping.

My sons the exact same even when he’s asleep it’s like he knows what I’m doing 🙄🥲

I do my LGs when she's asleep x

Try doing yours first so she knows it's not just her and you could try asking which one you should start with, so give her some control over it.

@Tylermai have you found a way to do them ? X

@Caroline I've tried that but she gets so upset you can't reason with her or talk to her because she just screams x

Our boy is the same. He sits nice for his fingernails but he will not let us hear his toes. We’ve tried it when he’s sleeping, different gently gently techniques and it doesn’t work. The only way we are able to get it done is for my hubby to cradle him and hold his toes out and for me to cut and reassure him it’s ok. It’s not the best but it’s the only way so they are not getting overly long and painful. We only do it around once per month x

@Chelsea I think we're just guna have to cradle her and let her scream. It's sound like we're murdering her it's horrible 😭 but I just don't know what else to do. I tried cutting them when she napped this afternoon. Managed one and she woke up x

@Viki honestly it’s the only thing that’s worked! I know it seems horrible but within 2 mins of it being done she will be away back playing again xx

@Chelsea thats true xx
