Congrats on your new baby. REMEMBER this is a BABY. It will require alot of rest with short play times. Do not change its eating habits until it is well established at your home. You may find a food that you like better but changing foods in a tiny baby can really mess up its tummy. I didnt introduce anything new in the way of food/treats until my baby had been home 6 weeks and she was 13 weeks when I brought her home.
At 8 weeks a toy breed puppy eats,Sleeeeeeps and plays. They also chew on anything and will pick things up off of the floor to try to eat. I have said "drop it" so much in the past 9 months that all I have to do now is say her name and she spits what is in her mouth out.
There will be things that you will have to teach because the mommie dog is gonna be there to do it. Between now and the time you pick your baby up you need to read,read,read and prepare a space for just baby that is safe. I wish you the very best of luck with your new baby and am glad to hear that you have a support system just a phone call away. |
