ZoLi Buzz B Electric Baby Nail Trimmer | ZoLi Baby Safe Nail File for Newborn Infant and up, Original Safety Electric Baby Nail File

My little boy is a month old and when he was home the first week I knew he was going to need his nails trimmed. I had seen/heard of this gadget while I was pregnant but I was trying to avoid purchasing another useless gadget. But now that baby is here. . . I took one look at the typical baby nail trimmer, tried to trim one nail and then completely refused. There was no way I was going to be able to get the job done with regular baby nail clippers. I am a first time mom and I just wasn't brave enough to go for it. As soon as I realized I wasn't brave enough for the clippers, I ordered the Zo-li Buzz and we love it!!!!!!! It trims just enough of my little one's nails so that he isn't scratching himself. I can do it while he is sleeping and he doesn't even notice!!!! I love it and would reccomend it to everyone! This just might be my new go to baby shower gift. It's one of those things that you don't think you need but then when you have it, you don't want to ever be without it.

This was given to us as a gift, and then we loved it so well we bought one for my brother and sister-in-law when they had a baby! I tried trimming my newborn's nails once with standard clippers, made it through two and half nails, and said "nope." Nail trimmers are scary when babies are that little. We used this electric nail trimmer for about 3 months before going back to the standard clippers. This trimmer is more like a buffer, but for soft nails it "sands" them down fairly easily. The battery seemed to run out fairly quick, and the weaker it got the longer it took to get the same effect on the nails. I don't think we will use it anymore now that our baby is a little older just because it does take a little longer to use and he's much more active now. But for those first few months we absolutely loved having it!

I've been using this nail trimmer on my baby for four months now. I absolutely love that it is gentle and does not hurt whatsoever (it is a soft vibration to the touch, which is perfect for newborn babies). It did an amazing job filing my little one's nails during the first couple months. However, after a few months her nails weren't as soft to file and it seemed to take so much longer to file. I tried switching to the tougher grit discs, which did not seem to help much. The file was still comfortable to the touch, however my little one would get annoyed after I filed just a couple nails because it took so long and she didn't want to have her hand still for that long. I finally purchased a pair of nail scissors (the piyo piyo baby nail ones) and have used those to cut her nails, and then I smooth out the edges with the Zo-li buzz nail trimmer. I've found this to be the best of both worlds. I would definitely recommend this product in regards to the softness (you are definitely not going to hurt your baby or damage the skin with it), however if you're not crazy about the price I think you could definitely get away with carefully using baby scissors instead.

Right after I brought home my newborn from the hospital, a friend told me about how she accidentally nicked her newborn's finger trying to trim his nails, and according to her while it wasn't the end of the world there were lots of tears, endless angry screams, and some blood. Needless to say, a fear of clipping my newborn's nails quickly set in...they are just sooooooo tiny. I kept her in mittens for the most part for the first few weeks, but I knew sooner or later I was going to have to pull out those sharp clippers. Searching out alternatives, I found this and ordered it asap. Today we did our first filing, I can't speak to how well it will work as she gets older, but it was gentle, effective enough on newborn nails, and was easy to use. Did she love the experience? No. She wasn't anything close to as calm and happy as the baby in Buzz B. video. But I expected some protesting. I'm just happy there wasn't any pain or blood.

MY GOAL: Keep my baby's nails trimmed without hurting him in the process.The Zo-li serves this purpose. It does not file down the nails absolutely perfectly, but enough so the baby doesn't hurt itself. I just make sure to file every day or two. For me, it is worth the peace of mind to know I will be able to file down his nails anytime, anyplace, and not accidentally clip or poke him.Cutting baby fingernails is terrifying. I noticed this product when my baby was newborn, but I didn't want to fork out the money. I knew I could make do with clippers. Well, the clippers only worked when the baby was sleeping which was much easier to do with an immobile newborn. After accidentally, clipping my baby's finger, I switched to a nail file. It worked well, but only when the baby was asleep while nursing. And the file had a sharp point that I knew would be a future problem. But then I also had the current problem of ruining nap time by nursing the baby to sleep, filing his nails, then making him mad by putting him in the crib after he was so cozy latched on to me. Plus, he started getting lots of teeth, and that was scary for me.I couldn't keep going like this since he's not going to be nursing forever, and it was messing up his sleep schedule for the day. He is a great napper, but not when I would do his nails. I finally decided to buy this nail trimmer since I knew that I could file his nails while he was awake and it wouldn't hurt him, even if he protested during the process.When I first used this device, I wasn't too impressed since it didn't seem to file his nails down at all. But I soon realized that it files better if you use the outer edge of the circle pad, since it is moving at a greater speed than the center. I suppose that should've been obvious! :)I have been using this trimmer for about a month now with my 9-month-old and I am quite satisfied. It does file slowly, but he doesn't seem to mind it too much. If anything, he is fascinated and wants to grab the device. I put on a little baby music video and he relaxes while I file, as if he were at a spa. Occasionally he will pull his hand away and protest briefly, but then he gets distracted again. Since I can't get his nails filed as low as I could the the regular nail file, I use this trimmer every day or two. But I'm happy to do so since I can do it so easily and stress free. In reality, I file his nails faster than before since I don't have to spend time nursing him into a deep sleep. I can start right away.
