Which is why a lot of people who have pets call themselves PAWRENTS. Because taking care of a pet is similar to that of a baby. and we are totally here for it, because these animals usually end up becoming an integral part of the family. and if you are a pawrent who is looking to extend their family by adding your baby to it, or your parents are planning to add a pet to your family. We might have some insight for you.

First and foremost, there are a lot of households where babies and pets peacefully coexist. So this is not something out of the world, but there are certain preparations that need to be made before you welcome the new member in your family, whether it's the baby or the pet. Because here is the thing: babies are really susceptible to germs and bacteria. and sometimes your furry can carry a lot of those germs. This is why you should always make sure that you pay extra attention to your pet's hygiene. So that they don't carry any kind of harmful parasites that might harm your baby in some other way. In fact , you should also pay special attention to sterilising all your baby's essentials so that you are extra careful with their safety. So as a parent you should really make sure that both your baby and pet are properly vaccinated.

Now a lot of people might ask you not to let your pet and baby interact with each other. and although they might be well meaning when they suggest that. you should know that there is nothing inherently harmful in letting your baby and pet interact with each other. but there are a few things you should always keep in mind, one of them is that you should never leave your baby alone with your pet. The key to a happy and safe interaction between both baby and your pet is the fact that it is happening under your supervision. You should also make sure that your pet and baby do not interact while any of them are eating. This is to make sure that no transmission of germs happens because of that. One of the most important things when it comes to taking care of your pet and baby at the same time is that. you should always keep their essentials separate. By essentials we mean. you should always keep their toys separate, Because both babies and furries tend to take their toys in their mouth, it is also very necessary that you wash both of their laundry separately.

Lastly and very importantly, It is very important for you to balance your time between your pet and baby. because your pet is your responsibility and so is your child, you don't want to let any of them feel neglected. which is why when you plan to become a parent or a pawrent it is very important for you to make sure you understand how important time management is here. not everyone is perfect so it's totally normal if you make some mistakes in the process. so don't be too harsh on yourself, and just try to enjoy your time with both of your babies.
