Im not an expert and someone else may have a better explanation. If they are waiting until she is asleep to cut her nails,due to the length. Then they are probably going to cut into the quick (the bloodvessel that runs down the middle of each nail),which will make them bleed. They will then probably cauterize the end to stop the bleeding. All of this is alot easier to do if she is not wiggling and much less stress on your baby and you.
Hope everything goes well!! |
