I just got my new baby too, the breeder told me for the first few days to lay on the floor with her so I didnt look like a big giant trying to capture her.. she slowly came over to me and we do alot of floor play instead of me standing up on top of her, now she is my love bug, she sleeps under my neck. I think I would be scared to if I were only 5 inches high and this big giant person came hovering over me trying to pick me up.. it worked for us
