How can I get my 9 week old son's to stop bleeding?

I cut the top of my son's finger when I was cutting his fingernails. It has been bleeding for 30 mins.

Answer:
Try applying direct pressure and maybe holding his hand under some cold running water.
If you have kept pressure on it for 10 minutes and it is still bleeding you need to go to the hospital because it either needs stitches or your son has a blood clotting disorder.
Apply pressure and Stop peeking at it ,. ;-)

It should stop in 15 minutes. Leave a little bandage on it . If your baby is crying though it will bleed longer , so get him calm .
Use a gauze pad or even a face cloth and put it on it and apply pressure but not too much. In ten minutes it should stop bleeding. When it does put a band aid on it. It is a long way from his heart so do not worry about it.
Apply pressure to it, and run it under cold water. If that dont work, get a tea bag wet and hold it on to his finger, sounds crazy but it shouls work. If it dont, i would recommend taking him to ER, he could be hemophiliac, a bleeding disorder.
get your bible,open it to Ezekiel 16:6 and read it to your son ,it will stop the bleeding ,just believe it when you read it,and remember you have to have Faith
your first answer is your best choice it could be a bleeding disorder its best to take him to a ped or family doctor to let them know about this problem even if it has stopped you should still take him. A cut from the clippers should not still be bleeding after 30 mins. If its gushing I would take him to the er and keep pressure on this cut.
the same thing happened to me....you have to calm him down<if he's crying> the more excited he gets the more he'll bleed once he's calm apply pressure if this doesnt work after another 10 mins then take him to er because you may have hit a nerve! Good Luck!!
Relax, it'll stop. just apply pressure to it. Babies dont clot as quick as adults, but he will stop.
if your child has bled this long, he may need to be seen by a doctor, he could have a low platlet count...but that area is sensitive, but 30 minutes is a very long time...it should have clotted and stopped after a few minutes.
