Nail clippers or scissors to cut baby's nails?
I've always used nail clippers on my own nails, but are the scissors easier to use on babies?

We used a nail file for quite a while when she was young and than as she got older we used nail clippers - we never used scissors

We used a nail file the first few weeks and then used the American Red Cross baby nail clipper that we bought at BRU (its the one that has some magnifying thing on it - which we do not use). We clip them when he is eating (he is concentrating too hard on the bottle to be bothered with what we are doing to his nails ).

You are only supposed to file the ragged edges for the first 2 weeks. Something about the cuticle. I will just try both and see what's easier for me.
