If so.... he would have your scent on him and thats a NO NO for mama... and would be the reason that she feels the need to bath him all of the time. It just a thought. Plus mama's dont like their pups messed with. They are always bathing them after they've been weighed or handled in any way. |
This must be something some mommas feel....I am all up in my newborns, right along with momma, handling, touching, kissing, neuro-stimulating baby...my newborns are handled continously from birth until they go to their new homes...it has absolutely NO adverse effect on my mommas....no excessive cleaning and bathing after I handle the babies....I guess they are just used to me being ever-present!
