Bringing baby home when you already have a fur baby? 🐶🍼 One of our SlumberPod moms shared how she introduced her golden retriever to her new baby boy—and it was the sweetest transition. 5 steps that helped: 1️⃣ Introduce baby gear early – Let your pup sniff and explore new things like the stroller, playmats, or sleep setup before baby arrives so it all feels normal when the baby comes home. 2️⃣ Start with scent – Bring home a blanket or clothing that smells like the baby first. It helps your dog recognize that this new tiny human is part of the family. 3️⃣ Keep first meetings calm – Get some energy out of your god ahead of time to ensure a slow, supervised introduction. Let your dog observe from a safe distance at first and keep the energy relaxed. 4️⃣ Make your dog feel included – Keep up walks, playtime, and little moments of attention so they still feel like a valued part of the pack. 5️⃣ Let the bond grow naturally – As baby gets older and more aware, their curiosity toward each other will grow—and that’s when the magic really starts. 💕 💤 Bonus SlumberPod Tip: If your dog sleeps in the same room, SlumberPod creates a cozy blackout sleep space so curious paws don’t interrupt naps. Dog + baby friendships are the best. 🐾💛
