Question

Has anyone on here dealt with a puppy and a newborn at the same time? Me and my partner lost one of our staffies last year to cancer, in late december we brought home a staffy pup as our other dog Dexter was starting to get lonely. The pup is now over 10 weeks old and she gets on great with Dexter which is amazing but i am starting to feel tired due to toilet training, seperation anxiety and nibbling. I know she will grow out of these puppy habits in time but she wont be fully trained by the time baby gets here and im worried i might not have the patience once i have a crying baby in my arms, any tips on how to stay sane are more than welcome lol:)

I had two puppies and my 1st son. Dogs were first then baby came along. Its hard work as u still have to give attention to the dog. We cam in from hospital with lo in car seat and put him in middle of the front room with not socks a shoes on and let the dogs say hello. They licked him from head to toe but you have to let the dogs lick babies feet. 
Now have out two dogs and two sons, youngest is 1yr old. The bond between the kids and the dogs r amazing howsoever we cannot take the dogs out with the kids around other dogs as they are two protective now. Any questions feel free to message me. 
Got to give attention to the dog. If your changing babies bum and the dog comes over, don't push the dog away let them and smooth them... need alot of patience to make sure the dog doesn't feel like ur pushing them away. Always have time for the dog. It is worth it in the end to see baby and dog become best friends

@kahh1997 your welcome. Its all about not 9ushing the dog away and treating her like a kid too. Give them attention if they come over when babe is with you give them a fuss. It is hard at the beginning but as baby gets bigger and starts crawling toddling.   Things get easier and urll see babe and dog bond 💕  will be worth the first year on having two babies lol xxx all the best of luck.

No advice sorry! But I'm also sorry to hear about your loss, I have 2 beautiful staffies myself they are so good around my children, unfortunately it is what it is you will just have to get on with it, I found my girl was toilet trained a lot faster than my boy so hopefully its the same for you. She didn't get past the chewing though till gone 1 🙈 xx

I was indifferent to staffies before i met my partner, hes had them his whole life and now i love the breed, loveable wee faces they just want to please you:) she does do her business outside but she hasnt worked out thats where she has to go like we still need to watch her like a hawk and quickly take her outside when we see shes about to do the toilet, got just over a month or so to go before baby arrives so hopefully by then she wont need to pee every half hour😂 thank u gal Xx

@kahh1997 they are and soo loyal I wouldn't have another breed now! She will get there in a couple more weeks there so clever it won't take her long but she will still have the odd accident most likely when you get up in the morning, she will grow up with the baby and have a amazing bond together. My eldest doesn't leave mine alone but they love him hes so please with himself when they come and sit with him whilst he's playing 🤣 aww not long will be here before you know it and your beautiful bundle of joy in your arms 🥰 xx
