Deffinately let the puppies greet the new arrival. I like the idea of letting them play in the baby room and get used to the new smells. I did have a dog when I brought my daughter home 26 years ago. I asked my husband to let her in the house before he left for the hospital so that way the dog didn't feel like her space was being invaded. It seemed to work. We set our new baby down once home and the dog greeted her with lots of kisses, which my parents about had a fit, but really it didn't hurt my daughter. We never had a problem with jealousy with the dog. Good luck and congrats. |
