How can I introduce my newborn baby to dogs?

Question

I have a pitbull and a little mut I rescued. How can I introduce a newborn to 2 rambunchios dogs? Baby has a week till she's here so I'm stressing!

Answer

Have someone bring the first hat they put on the baby home before you come home so they can smell it. Bring a used blanket as well. Also when you do come home you should come into the house without the baby, have your SO bring it in. You can come in alone and see the dogs so they don't get too anxious and excited before you actually introduce the baby to them. Basically just be slow and easy about it. When my son was born that's what we did with our 3 pitbulls and they were totally fine. They actually all kinda calmed down once the baby was around. It was really nice lol

Answer

We're going to try to have the dog meet the baby outside the house, so that he's not in his own territory. Our hospital allows well behaved canine visitors, so we lucked out in that one.

Answer

We have been playing recordings of baby sounds to get them used to it. When we pick a lotion, we will start using it so they get used to the smell.

Answer

We sprinkled baby powder all over the house so our pup could get used to the scent weeks prior. 
We brought home several baby blankets from the hospital and let pup sleep with one. Pup loved the baby 😍

This post really helped me and my husband figure out the best way for us!! Our dogs are our babies so we want to make sure they are as comfy with baby as we are with our dogs!

Answer

Have dad bring home the hat and blanket that were put on baby after birth to smell.
