32: Do Prop Babies and Fake Baby Cries Really Work?

32: Do Prop Babies and Fake Baby Cries Really Work?

Parents are often told to “practice” for their baby’s arrival by using baby dolls or sound effects to get their dog ready. But does that actually help, or does it just create more confusion? In this episode, Jaime shares real-life experiences from families who have tried everything from carrying around a doll to playing newborn cries on repeat. You will hear what works, what does not, and how to use these tools in a way that actually helps your dog feel prepared.

If you are pregnant and wondering if you need to order a lifelike doll, or if you have already tried a few soundtracks and felt silly, this episode gives you practical and science-backed insights to decide if props should be part of your baby prep plan.
