My maltese was a little jealous with my son came home. A baby naturally takes a LOT of your time and attention. But I would put Matt in the stroller and Casper on his leash and off we would go.
When I was rocking Matt - I might be throwing a toy down the hall for Casper at the same time.
Casper was a very laid back maltese and even he got jealous of the baby. I tried to make sure he was included as much as possible; hence all the stroller walks. But I didn't leave the two of them alone together either once Matt started crawling and walking - because babies love to pull fur and tails .. . and they don't know what they are doing! Casper gave him a very wide berth when he was a baby.
Hang in there - things will get better.
