When you have a dog and you are having a baby, you worry like mad that they won't get on as you don't want to get rid of you're dog. I was like this, my dog is like my hairy baby and I would have been so upset if I had to of got rid of him as I could not imagine him missing from our little family.
What I used to do was every time I bought something for the baby I would let the dog sniff the things for the baby so that he was used to the scent and knew that a change was going to happen. Also I would invite him into the baby's room so that he would feel like he was getting involved.
Once I had had my baby I would let the dog lick his hands and feet, which still happens now and my little man loves it and laughs.
It is good to let you're dog and baby socialise as it makes the dog feel like part of the family and not like he or she is having their nose pushed out.
I am so glad I integrated my dog and baby as I now have such a happy little family.
