Episode 64 – Children and Pets Part 1
Are you an expecting parent waiting to bring a new baby into a home with existing pets?
Or perhaps you are a pet care professional looking for the best advice to give to new or expecting parents about introducing a new baby to their pets?
The reason you are worried about this is because you're not sure of the best way to approach this.
And the reason you are feeling stressed and anxious is because you feel guilty about disrupting your pet's routine or not being able to pay them as much attention as before.
This is all completely normal, and you will absolutely be able to manage this, with a little advice from myself and Nora.
As a mom of 2 young girls as well as 2 cats, Nora gives us her top tips on integrating new babies into a home of already existing kitty cats (with lots of transferrable information for doggie homes too!)
She chats about the importance of early preparation, the important role that dads play when the baby first comes home and how to navigate the feelings of guilt that can arise when a new mom's time and routines are turned on their heads.
We also talk about how important it is to be able to read canine and feline body language to understand how the pets might be feeling because of these changes in their homes and routines.
