I use a dremel on my two babies. I find it easiest to do right after a bath, and while they are wet. Its so much easier to see the nail and hold the wet hair out of the way. Good luck

My Jada is a fighter so I wrap her in a towel like a burrito.
My friend Lisa (Sugarmamma) just recently purchased a preemie infant swaddle cloth to contain her little fighter Curri Bee..she said it works wonderfully.
