There are several important safety issues to consider when introducing your dog and your baby. Make sure your dog is regularly de-wormed and is flea and tick free before allowing any contact with your baby. Put a gate at the door to your baby's room to prevent your dog from entering when you're not there to supervise. Remember that all dogs are capable of aggression when provoked, so take the following precautions to ensure your baby's safety:
* Teach your dog the command "gentle." Work with your dog to accept gentle squeezing and pulling of paws, ears and hair.
* Never play tug-of-war with your dog as it encourages aggressive behavior.
* Teach your baby not to bother the dog while he's sleeping or eating.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR BABY FROM SWINE FLU?
Everyone loves babies and they think that touching and kissing are so important. In a time when the swine flu is spreading and could soon be in your state, you have to know how to protect your infant from the swine flu. We always think that we are doing our best to keep the little ones safe, but the swine flu is not like any other flu. It can cause secondary health issues even in the healthiest adult or infant. Protect your infant from the airborne particles of the swine flu.
Step 1
Stop the touching and kissing. This means that if a stranger sees you out in public and feels the need to touch your babies hand, politely say please do not touch my baby. You can then explain your concerns about the swine flu and your baby's safety.
Step 2
Make family and friends that come to your home use a sanitized wipe before touching the baby. Moms and dads should also do this, especially if they work outside the house.
Step 3
Sanitize hands and face if you work in the health care or food service business before touching your baby. In many cases, you may also want to wear a surgical mask. Make a funny game out of it so you do not scare the baby.
Step 4
Avoid taking the baby out to crowded places. This is the number one issue. Crowded places have sick people. There is no one day in the world that someone is not outdoors when they are sick. Refrain from taking the baby to the stores or even childcare if possible.
Step 5
Find a surgical mask for the baby to wear if you must take them to a crowded place. Talk to your doctor for a recommendation.
Step 6
Stop other kids from playing with your babies toys. This takes some persistence, but you cannot allow other kids to spread germs to the toys. You may think that this is pushing it to far, but your babies health is at stake until the swine flu is brought under control and stopped.

BABY'S SLEEPYTIME
Babies love consistency and establishing routines now will help your baby down the road. Bedtime is an especially important ritual around which to create a schedule. Put your baby down for bed at the same time each night. Try giving her a bath, singing to her, or feeding or rocking her right before bedtime to relax her and ease the transition into bed. Whatever works, do that every night so your baby associates the routine with going to sleep. A baby cannot put herself to sleep or understand her own signs of fatigue, so learn to recognize the signs that she is sleepy and put her down as soon as she seems tired.
