Get your pet accustomed to baby sounds, smells, and items. Play recordings of baby coos and giggles, let them sniff baby lotions, and introduce them to baby-safe toys. Familiarity breeds comfort!

A lot of my listeners get married and
they postpone child rearing for careers, but then all of a sudden they decide that
they want their human baby But before the stalk arrives, listen to me carefully,
socialize your dog or cat to kids, especially if you've been
previously childless. Make sure your pet's familiar with
typical baby sounds, smells, and items. You can actually download the sounds
from the internet and play them at a gradual increasing volume for your pet. Bring home a doll to simul
ate
what a baby's going to be like. Work your pet in correcting any
behavior problems before the baby arrives, like jumping or
chewing or any problem like that. And a couple of weeks before the
baby's arrival, make sure you take your pet to the veterinarian for a
complete physical checkup, including vaccinations and nail clipping. And make arrangements for your pet's
care during the hectic time when you, as the mother, is in the hospital. Your pet's daily routine should be kept
as normal as poss
ible, and particular attention walking and feeding. Your baby and your dog or your
cat should be best friends if you follow the tips I just gave you. I'm Warren Eckstein.
