Introducing dogs and babies in the same house would not be quite comfortable for both, and as a consequence, anything can happen. Both the baby and the dog need to be prepared to receive each other. One of the parties may not welcome the other, but since it will have to be their new home, they you must make them recognize and reconcile any differences they may ever have.
One recommendation is that you install the baby's bits and pieces well ahead of times. This recommendation is made by the SPCA International, which states that the dog will easily adapt to the change around it, if this is done.
By so doing, the dog adapts fast and will not disturb when it sees the bay coming in from afar. It would have already identified the change in the house, and can then start waiting to see the next change.
This is most probably the best way to make your dog not cause any harm to the baby. You need to be cautious of the fact that receiving this baby is not easy for the pet. You must therefore do everything possible to make a good experience for both the dog and the baby.
One thing which is very necessary, but which may be difficult for you to do, is to get the dog to identify what it can play with, and what it should let the baby play with. You may lack knowledge on this, and you can get it from SPCA International.
If you do not want to see your dog fumbling with you baby's toys, do something about it, starting even by setting limits. The limits will have to be made in such a way that even the dog understands them.
If you see your dog going for your baby's toy, simply call it to order, and hand over to it, its own toy. That way, it gets to know what it can play with, without any disturbance.
If all these steps are taken into consideration, then you can be sure that you dog will get to play only with its own toys, and you will have a wonderful relationship between your dog and your child.
