Ever wondered how to get your baby to sleep? Must watch this it’s so cute http://youtu.be/PWXigjFm4TM-much and cheaper than a nanny! Would you let your cat this close to a new born baby?
I really believe that animals can be great friends with children and it is good to teach children about caring for animals but to watch this is incredible, shows how connected we all are.
If you have an animal in the house I would recommend that you never leave them alone with a young child just in case they turn on them. Some cats bite or get jealous just like older siblings. Toddlers can be kind and loving one minute and attacking or pinching the next, as soon as your back is turned.
How has your family life changed since you’ve had a new baby, has everyone adapted well or have you had to enforce some new rules or be extra vigilant?
