Babies and Pets
- The crawling stage of your baby’s development can be the trickiest time if you have pets.
- Never let your baby corner a dog or cat; always make sure your pet has an escape route.
- Take your baby’s hand and teach her to pet dogs and cats gently, avoiding their eyes and ears—but only when your pet is willing, never force contact.
- Keep your pet’s favorite toys or treats handy while playing with your baby so that when your pet is nearby he will associate these special rewards with the child’s presence.
our cat or dog may not have blinked an eye when you brought your baby home from the hospital, but now that she’s crawling all over them, it could be a different story. Here’s how to keep them both safe. To view the full story click here.
