newmama412 at first, i thought you were going to say she did so as some form of punishment. reading further though, it doesnt sound like there was any maltreatment intended towards the child. i think the teacher should not have used something like this as a teaching...

Trimming baby's nails

jessmtiu @jessmtiu (251) • Philippines 23 Jan 07

How often do you trim your baby's fingernails? I find this especially difficult to do with my 10 month old baby boy because he's very fidgety and would not keep still for me to trim his fingernails properly. I often trim his nails...
