- I have always had a lot of luck with this task. My son didnt even need his
- nails cut for about 6 weeks, because they seemed to naturall peel when they
- got to a certain length. When he was a little older he really like being on
- his stomach, using his arms to push himself up. I found that was a great time
- to cut his nails, since his hands werent going anywhere. I just made sure he
- was fascinated with something.
-
- Mostly I just waited for the right mood - like right after I fed him, and he
- was very mellow. Then he didnt seem to mind if I did it then, as long as we
- continued to cuddle.
-
- Since he became a toddler, I use bribes ;-), ok, incentives! We have
- a small collection of rubber stamps and I stamp each hand/foot as I finish it.
