    Your little puppy should not be on human baby food. It does not contain the proper nurtition or vitamins and minerals for a growing puppy. Please switch to a commercial puppy food, either wet or dry, that will give your little one the proper nutrition. You can bathe your puppy at anytime after birth with no ill effects.

    Hi, Diana!

    Greetings and WELCOME to the site! I just moved your question that you had posted in Introductions to this topic area so that it would get the most exposure to those who are best able to answer it. Introductions is for people to introduce themselves and we try to not ask questions there.

    I do note that you've already received one fine answer above!

    We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little about yourself though, if you would be willing to do that.

    Thanks!

    Puppies need puppy food, human babies need human baby food.

    The best thing for you to do is to put the dog on a dry good quality puppy food. Try and stay away from dog foods bought at the grocery store and choose petless petshop type stores for the food. They have the largest supply of dog foods ever! (The grocery store only has a handful of choices... plus the quality is not as good). Ask the people at the petshop which puppy food is a good one and feel free to ask a ton of questions there. They are very helpful and will make your concerns go away...

    Good luck. You're so lucky you have a baby dog!
