clipped sons finger instead of nail?
I was cutting my 3 month olds nails cause they are long. Using baby clippers. He moved and I caught his finger. Right index one. I feel so bad. he began bleeding right away for the first 20 minutes. Now its whenever he put pressure on it or closes his fist it bleeds. Iv been keeping his finger straight out wit cloth around it. Its been about an hour since. I can tell it doesnt need stitchs. Debating on going to the hospital or not. Any suggestions? No more xlippers

As long as it stops bleeding and it doesn't look deep he'll be fine.
Most kid injuries of this nature look worse than they really are.
Just thoroughly clean his hand with warm water and soap. It's important to do that often(a few times a day) to keep away germs and prevent infection. Especially since you can't really use a band-aid in this spot for a three month old. They put their hands in their mouth so often it would be a choking hazard.
*Unless it won't stop bleeding or it's very deep,there's no need for a hospital trip,not even a doctor visit. As he gets older when he plays. He'll get tons of baby boo boo's. Just the nature of kids. Just keep rubbing alcohol,band-aids and Neosporin on hand for those types of things!

Since it is still bleeding he needs to be seen, more then 10 minutes of bleeding needs to be seen by a doctor. It probably isn't the wound but it may be a bleeding disorder.
