I brought twins home to two dogs. We just took the dogs into the garage to meet the kids and we kept the kids in their car seats in the house for a little while. This allowed the dogs to sniff and get close to the kids on their own. Of course my wife and I were right there in case one of the dogs became aggressive. When one of the kids was around two months old, one of the dogs lunged towards my daughter while she was on my lap. I've never hit a dog in my life, but I hit her on the head and she gave me the WTF look I felt so bad. After that we never had a problem.

I think it's great to have pets around with children.

BTW, congrats on becoming a dad.

One more thing. Don't let the dog lick the baby.
