Sure! Here are four different ways you can prepare your pet for a new baby:

**Gradual Introductions**: Start by letting your pet get used to baby sounds. Play recordings of baby cries and cooing sounds at a low volume. Gradually increase the volume over time so they can get accustomed to it without feeling scared.

**Set Up Baby Gear Early**: Bring out the baby stuff like cribs, strollers, and toys before the baby arrives. Let your pet explore these new items so they don't feel surprised when the baby comes home. You can even reward them with treats for being curious!

**Establish Boundaries**: Teach your pet which areas of the house will be off-limits once the baby arrives. Use baby gates or playpens to create safe spaces. This helps your pet understand where they can and can't go, making the transition smoother.
