Help with spoilt cat and new baby

[~Trish~]

Our friends have two cats, so when they were pg they taught the cats not to go into the nursery. By the time their baby arrived they had no problems with the cats going in the room.

Some people also suggest using a mosquito net over the cot to stop the cat from jumping in.

Best of luck

Hi,
We actually put a screen door on bubs room so we could still hear and see him but the cat couldn't get in. Working very well! And the bonus is that now bubs is a bit mobile, I can pop him in his room (which is baby proofed) and close the door so he can't crawl out, but I can still hear and see him. Hope it all goes well for you.

3 very spoilt cats here and no problem with them trying to sleep on either baby. Whilst I found they like to sleep in cots, basinettes, prams etc it is only when they are empty. If they try to jump in with a baby there they jump straight out of their own accord. The only time they walk over the baby is when they are trying to get to me and I am there to stop them. They don't seem to fond of small crying humans

Thank you for your stories and ideas girls! Much appreciated.

Will just keep an eye on him to start and see if he's even interested in being around bubs to start with.

Love the door idea - that's something I never would've thought of.
