Does anyone know if it's a problem to cut both fingernails and toenails of a baby on the same day?

I remember once hearing that there's a kabbalistic idea not to cut them the same day, but it's not strict halacha. Certainly if you have a reason why you need to (e.g. mikvah) it shouldn't be a problem.

Right, but I'm wondering if it's different with babies, it's just more practical to do them together once I'm at it

There are opinions in both directions. Do you have a family Rav? Probably best to find out what he holds.
