When a 2-month old infant was recently killed by the family dog during the night, I felt it was important that we talk candidly about how this could have happened - and more importantly, how it could be avoided. Michelle talks about safe sleep for families with dogs and babies with true compassion, as only a mother can do. While this was avoidable, people don't know what they don't know, and it's up to us to help families learn how to do better so that their babies and dogs are safer and set up to succeed.

I discuss:

• safe sleep for dog and baby
• where dog should sleep when you have a baby
• how to keep baby safe from dog
• sleeping parents can not ensure safety if dog is loose in the same space
• dog bite prevention
• management tips for parents with dogs
