People that have pets...

[Jennygirl]

and have had children already...

We do not plan on allowing our dogs in the nursery unless they are with my husband since he is the alpha.

Did you guys use baby gates to keep them out? which is what we are doing...

We didn't have our dog yet, but right now we're trying to find our dog a new home. If you know anyone let me know. We have a year old lab retriever that has been through obedience class and worked with continually and is a good dog but we don't have the time he requires. Also, with a new little one coming I don't want the dirt and hair all over the house.

There is a seattle pure breed rescue that our club usually tells people to use...Also there are probably lots of lab rescues. good luck in placing him.

I just shut the door to keep our Yorkie out.

We are going to use a gate cause we want to leave the door open at night and one of them sleeps in our room with us...

Our doggies just never go in there, so we didn't have to worry about gates or anything. Still almost 2 years later, neither of them still go in his room.

From my experience and from talking to other moms, the babies sleep better with the door closed, even if it is when everyone is asleep. Just something to keep in mind

[Jennygirl]

hmmmmm maybe we will try that! My husband said we should close the door also...

Neither our dog or our cat are allowed in the bedrooms period, we close the doors at night.

No we didn't even worry about keeping Pepper out of the nursery. We actually encouraged him to go in there and get used to having another one to protect. He's always done really well with her.
