Tips from the dog whisperer on how to introduce your newborn to your furkid: https://www.cesarsway.com/dog-training/socialization/introduce-your-dog-to-your-baby Short summary, familiarize your dog with the scent of your newborn by letting it sniff something that has your newborn’s scent first before bringing the baby home. Establish clear boundaries (such as the nursery room being off-limits). Bring your dog out for a long walk to expend his/her energy on the day you are bringing your baby home. Control the introduction. Do not bring the baby too close to the dog during their first meeting (this will teach the dog to respect the baby as another pack leader). Teach your baby to respect the dog as well. Supervise their interactions as they get more familiar with each other. Also, remember to continue to shower your dog with love and attention. Keep to their routine walks to help the dog feels secure despite the changes in the house. In general, all my friends with dogs/pets at home remarked that their pets are incredibly sensitive, gentle and caring towards their newborn, even allowing the newborn to poke and pull at their fur without retaliating. Still, your baby’s safety is important so always keep a close eye on them while they are playing.

Keeping the Peace Between Dog and Baby Some tips from http://www.parents.com/parenting/pets/babies/preparing-for-baby/ 1. Zone Out Install safety gates to designate some rooms as off-limits to your pooch. This way, Baby can perfect her rolling and crawling in peace. 2. Stock Up on Playthings. If your pup has his own stuff, he's less likely to chew on any cute baby toys you received as gifts. 3. Avoid Food Fights. Keep your dog's bowls on the counter when it's not mealtime. Once your child is mobile, she can create a mess of sloshed water (which also poses a drowning risk) or may sample the kibble (choking hazard). Plus, some dogs get territorial around chow. 4. Teach Your Baby to Be Gentle. As your tot begins exploring with her hands, she might grab Fido's fur. Show her how to pet nicely. She'll mimic Mommy -- and your hound will thank you. 5. Always Supervise. Never, ever leave your child alone with your pet. Infant behavior (squealing, a quick maneuver) could unexpectedly irritate him. And watch for pacing or unusual eye contact, which could indicate your dog isn't comfortable with the baby.
