2. To cut finger nails, start by hold your baby’s hand. Take his finger and softly press down the skin on his finger tips so that there will be a gap between the nail and the finger.
3. Then, carefully insert the nail cutter to the small gap between the nail and the finger. Make sure that the entire nail is in the nail cutter. Do not  press the cutter unless you are sure that there is no skin inside the cutter.

What is BCG Vaccine?
Wikipedia define BCG or Bacillus Calmette-Guerin as a vaccine against tuberculosis that is prepared from a strain of the attenuated live bovine tuberculosis bacillus, Mycobacterium bovis, that has lost its virulence in humans by being specially cultured in an artificial medium for years.

Is BCG Vaccine Effective?
The degree of effectiveness of BCG vaccine varies from 0-80% where it is given right after birth or before reaching 1 year old. However the vaccine cannot prevent contagious tuberculosis disease in adult as the vaccine is intended to prevent disseminated form of tuberculosis in children.
