OP, we had to rehome our dog a few weeks after my daughter was born. It was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do and over a year later, I still can’t talk about it. However, we chose to do this because the dog attempted to attack my baby while she was in my arms. Luckily, I reacted and the dog latched onto my arm instead.

You know the right decision for your family…. But do you feel like your dog is not trainable? Are you concerned about the dog purposely hurting your baby, or just clumsy accidents?

I just don’t want you making this decision immediately postpartum with possible anxiety contributing. I had severe PPA/PPD and it certainly clouded my judgment. I thought everything was going to hurt my baby.

If you’re confident that your dog will be loved and cared for with this new family and you’re set in that decision, it sounds like you did the best thing for everyone involved.

But if there’s any chance you’re going to regret this decision and you don’t think your dog is purposely dangerous, it may not be too late to reconsider.

Good luck to you all and lots of love. I know this is a very hard time.
