Yes, socializing is important. I'd suggest this:
First, when your yorkie is sleeping at night, give him/her a piece of your kid's clothes to snuggle with. Same thing when the new born is out, before he/she comes home from the hospital. That way, your yorkie will be more "prepared". One of my friends did that when they had a new baby on the way.
Second, take your yorkie to where you KNOW there are kids: schools, playground, etc. You may not have to step into the establishment by simply passing by will help. Soon enough, your yorkie will be more comfortable around kids. |
