Living With Pets- Keeping Your Baby Safe |

|
So, up to this point, your dog or cat has been your baby, but
now there's a little human on the way. It is normal and, in
fact, wise to be concerned about how the two are going to mix.
The chances are very good that everything will work quite well
and your pet and your child will be very close buddies, but
there are some things you can do to be prepared. First some tips
for dogs:
Teach your dog to stay out of the nursery Start right away
putting up a baby gate or keeping the door closed to help your
dog learn to stay out of the baby's room. Later on, you can
allow the dog in the room, especially if you are in there, but
it's best to prepare him at first to stay away.
Introduce your dog to some other babies If he's never been
around a baby, carefully introduce some into his life. He |

is
much less likely to be anxious around your baby if he is
introduced gradually.
Make sure he is well trained A baby's behavior is not
predictable, so your dog has to be the grown up in this case. If
your dog does not obey you, it's time for some training before
the baby arrives. If your dog is a male, and you haven't had him
neutered, this is a good time for that, too. It should make the
dog calmer and more well mannered.
Then, there's the cat - some of the same ideas work for cats,
too, except that training them to stay out of a room is pretty
difficult. They scale baby gates, and cribs, by the way with
ease. So, in addition to a baby gate, it's wise to purchase a
net to go over the crib, to keep the cat out. Also, if your cat
sleeps with you, don't put the baby in your bed with the

cat in
the room.
For both types of pets, keep the food and water bowl away from
the baby. Babies love to play in them, and this can not only
make a mess, but can cause the animal to be even more jealous.
Also, at some point, if your child can get to the pet food, he
will try to eat it. I promise.
Your child and your pets should develop a good relationship with
little trouble. Just be diligent for a while until everybody is
comfortable, and you should continue to have a happy home.
