How should you cut small baby's nails? I am a little scared..

i use a baby nail cutter as the edges are blunt and the cutter is also not too sharp. it does the job perfectly without any risk of cuts to the skin. make sure you do not cut too close to the nail bed or skin, and trim off only from the very top. also, it is best to do so after a bath, as the nails will be really soft. i used to do it while my newborn was asleep.
