Baby Light & Clip: The Tiniest Manicure Is Totally Doable

I think every parent is traumatized by the sight of blood when it comes to clipping those teeny-tiny fingernails, but Baby Light & Clip ($15) has come to the rescue. It’s an inexpensive and astonishingly simple idea: a pair of tiny nail clippers with a flashlight attached. It enables parents to snip the nails while baby sleeps. It comes in its own storage case and already has a AA battery installed. Mine lives in the pocket of the glider and gets pulled out whenever Baby nods off after a feeding. Those nails grow fast so this gadget is going to get a lot of use!
