is it okay to have to weenie dogs at home especially around your new born baby im 31 weeks and i really dont want them ar the house because they take one of them outside and then she brings in fleas and then she gives them to.the other one. and then they bark super loud for anything i dint want my baby asleep and then she wakes up scared to the barks of them. and then one of them does there business in a certain spot and im worried that later the smell might affect her idk i just need to know if its ok to have dogs around.newborns  because my fiance parents don't want them to go out they rather have us leave

I have 2 dogs, am 29 weeks pregnant and have a 3.5 year old. My dogs are a 2 year old miniature pinscher and a 9 month old great dane and I'm not getting rid of either of them, despite being allergic to the great dane. They are a part of my family and we couldn't imagine being without either of them, especially since my great dane got really sick and almost died of Parvo a few months ago. The dogs are fine to be around a newborn. If you plan on keeping them, make sure you treat them both for fleas. Another thing you dont want to do is keep rhe house completely quiet while baby is sleeping-- that will only make your baby a light sleeper and wake up for any little sound.

It's OK to have dogs around newborn... They just rather babies not be around cats more than anything... I think you should let the baby get use to the sounds... Shielding some babies from sound kind of makes it harder on yourself... It doesn't have to be super loud but you do want them to be OK with sleeping with sounds in the background...
