Worst Mom ever moment...
Eek... so now I feel like the worst mom EVER!
I finally decided to give the nail clippers a try (have been using a nail file until now)...
And when I was almost finished... with 2 little fingers to go... I clipped the little skin on my poor baby's finger!!
I made him bleed! 
OK, so he didn't even cry, but I still feel like the worst mom ever!!!

It happens to everyone. DH won't go near DS with the clippers because he once cut the dog's pad when he was clipping her nails

I know it's safe to say that all if not most of us have been there. Little did I know that I had worse mommy moments ahead - now the finger thing seems mild (21 months out).

Re: Worst Mom ever moment...
I did that too You probably didn't hurt him since he didn't cry. My DD screamed for a half hour. I really hurt her-it was awful

Babies heal fast. It hurt you more than him, and you'll remember it much longer than he will. He's fine, and you'll be fine too.

I did that the other day!!! I felt awful that he scratched his nose and ended up cutting his finger. It bled, but was healed within a few hours.
I felt terrible, too. He's fine and I'm sure your baby is, too!

Re: Worst Mom ever moment...
 Dont feel bad, i was doing the filing thing too. The first time clipping i had my sis do for me(she has 3 kids, figured leave it to the experienced mom to do).. the second time I did. I have to do tonight 3rd time and sooo nervous.

Re: Worst Mom ever moment...
I am sooo afraid of that that i basically only file ds's nails. As a result, they are never short enough and he keeps scratching himself! Soooooooo....you are not the worst mom ever!!!!!!
