When my daughter still drank a bottle of formula/milk it was easy to distract her and cut her nails. Now that she has super human strength and a ridiculous fear of her nails being cut, it takes my husband and I to do this simple task. ANY ADVICE very welcome!
I always cut both of my children's nails whilst their favourite program is on the TV. They sit on my knee for a cuddle and then as they get engrossed in the program I get the cutting done :)
