Living With Pets- Keeping Your Baby Safe

Author : Sarah Veda -
So, up to this point, your dog or cat has been your baby, but now thereÂ’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 babyÂ’s room. Later on, you can allow the dog in the room, especially if you are in there, but itÂ’s best to prepare him at first to stay away.



Introduce your dog to some other babies

If heÂ’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 babyÂ’s behavior is not predictable, so your dog has to be the grown up in this case. If your dog does not obey you, itÂ’s time for some training before the baby arrives. If your dog is a male, and you havenÂ’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.
