She's on very thin ice!!!

The dog is jealous, doesn't like the hoopla. What I read to do when something like this happens is, let the dog smell the baby's behind. Yes, that is how they tell their own, so it makes sense. Wouldn't hurt to try it, and it might settle the dog down.
That could be why the dog is getting in to the diapers, she wants to id the person in her home.

First of all, congratulations!!

Our dog is very naughty while we are out. We confine him to the back porch during that time. He can't get in trouble there and he has plenty of room to move around (unlike in his crate). Can you confine the dog to one room? Maybe the laundry room or a large bathroom? It just may take him time to get used to the new member of the family.... good luck!:)

Congrats on the new daughter! I think maybe it's just a matter of adjustment....the dog probably isn't getting the kind of attention he is used to so bad behavior get him some attention....I don't know how long it will go on for you...but I think in just a bit everyone including the dog will adjust. Hopefully for you it all works out! I know it must be a pain watching the dog and taking care of a newborn!

Your dog missed you when you were in hospital for two weeks. You dog was aware that there was a change in your house. She is jealous now that your new baby has come home. I think you could say a gentle "no" when your dog barks at your baby when she is crying. You might be able to put the nappies in a rubbish bag where your dog can't get to it. In a sure in a few weeks she will get used to the new addition to your family.

I spent four nights in hospital because when my baby was born I lost two and a half liters of blood. I was really weak and kept fainting. My dogs had my mum move in to care for my son whilst I was in hospital. Since I came home my dogs are alright with my baby girl. However my toddler son is really jealous of her. My dogs bark at first light in the morning to be fed. That is a problem and the weather is poor. It is raining non stop at the moment.

Good luck with your dog and your patience. I really hope you manage to get rid of your dog's poor behavior.

Hi Christylynn... Congratulations on your new born baby. And I am sorry about your dog problem. I agree with some of the responses I think the dog is jealous of the attention the baby is getting thats why it is also trying to get your attention by messing around. I would suggest give the dog time as well. Talk to the dog and try to pamper her for an hour just show her that you are not forgetting her. I wish you dog the best and hopes she wont be given to other home,

the dog just wants attention. she was ur baby before the baby came along. she probably feels ignored and abandoned. animals dont like being left alone too long. maybe u can divide ur time between taking care of the baby and taking care of the furry baby. when u r not home, maybe u can make a comfy corner in the garage for the dog to hang out in until u get back. or give ur dog her favorite toy like rawhide to play with. it is like a doggie pacifier.
