I was raised by a golden retriever named Bristol. My mom said that if we were walking down the street Bristol would check for cars and not let me cross until it passed.

Why would they name a baby girl Miller?? That’s not even a good name for a boy

Same. Miller?

It's what they were drinking that night. Or they grind grain into flour. I know where my bets going.

This is very cute but please do not let your dogs lick your babies face. A baby has a very weak immune system and the dog's tongue is covered with germs. I wouldn't let a dog lick my face but that's a personal thing, but do not ever let a dog lick a babies face, their immune systems are still very much developing.

Let me just jump on here, don't let most of your relatives kiss the baby for the exact same reason.

Within reason. But very early there is a lot of stuff that's really mild to adults but very serious for young infants.

Babies who grow up with pets have better immune systems as a result of all the germs they're exposed to - that's scientifically proven

.....and they have far fewer allergies!
Don't mistake the germs that a family pet has (within reason) with the germs that are brought-often from miles away-by family and friends, who insist on kissing babies. They are often carrying human diseases.

They key word is “grow up”. It should be done gradually, not right when the baby comes home for the first time or else they could die

The bacteria and mutated viruses we have today are very dangerous, it’s not like when we were kids, and we have so called technological progress to thank for that😅

My understanding is that dog bites are either the same or somewhat less likely to get infected than human bites (at least that's what I've heard from ER doctors). Dogs don't have particularly dirty mouths by human standards.
Not that dogs should be licking babies' faces but people act like dogs are particularly gross when you're more likely to have humans get you sick.

Do you know how the immune system gets strong, right? Avoiding all germs is how we get people with allergies, intolerances and weak immune systems.
This is why people raised in farms or with constant contact with nature usually get sick less often and don't have as many allergies. Their immune system is just better becauae they grew up with animals, mud, plants, playing in the dirt...

Sure but this baby is way too young to try and build their immune system by exposing them to germs. One sickness and it could mean the end of their life.

Baby literally has the protection of the mother's immune system. That's what breast milk does. Fun fact, the mother's nipples absorb any germs the baby is incubating present in their saliva and then manufacture antibodies in the breastmilk while the baby feeds.

I also don't let dogs lick me. Dogs will lick anything. They drink out of the toilet. They lick other dogs buttholes. You have no idea where that tongue has been.

I can't stand it when people let their dogs drink out of the toilet! I have a lid down rule at my house for this exact reason.

I think people tend to forget that dogs can smell the parents in the child.. so of course they would be excited about a new family member who just so happens to smell like the people they already love.

We had two cats when our daughter was born. They adored her and went everywhere around the house with her. Her first words were their names. I am so glad she grew up with them.

Goldens are the absolute best. Labs are up there, too. These are the best dogs for raising children. 😍

Of course they're gentle. It's a puppy! They know how to act with puppies, for gods' sakes.

I love how a dog is with a baby and how they grow together and it's not just Golden's this is with all dogs its something that goes all the way down to our DNA and we share with them how we interact with each other thats like I was raised with a Rotty from birth and along with my sister and brother. I can remember being young and a baby sitter had to take us to meet my parents and the rotty was outside and he wouldnt let the babysitter leave the house with us due to him thinking she was stealing us and it took my dad coming home just to let her leave but I dont blame her he was a 225 lb dog that he was not letting her leave with us kids no matter what

Just teach them to lick your baby especially from the face... That's really can be very dangerous to your kid

Those are dogs and the child is a human, so there is no way they are sisters

i love how dogs are instinctively gentle with babies. I know some people are going to have issues with this, but these dogs are so naturally protective of infants. This is a really special relationship
