It’s safest if your dog is happy around your new baby. So here are some tips for a good introduction:

🐶 Ask a family member to walk the dog before you bring the baby home, so they’re relaxed
🐶 Say hello to your dog first. Then introduce the baby in a quiet room
🐶 Give your dog lots of treats for good behaviour

MNVP Co-Production

The BSOL MNVP continue to work with our local Trusts to provide insight and feedback about how to improve people's Maternity and Neonatal experiences that can provide better outcomes for families.

One of our current projects is gaining feedback around accessing care early in pregnancy, specifically having bloods taken before 10 weeks!

Did you find accessing an appointment before 12 weeks difficult? Or face any other personal challenges around this?

We'd love to hear anything that maybe relevant about your experience.

Please email bsolmnvp@gatewayfs.org
