I got my first rottweiler in 1988, and at the time I got pregnant in 1997 I had at that time 2 females, Ciera who was 4 and Kinseigh who was 2.
Having had rotties for so long, I didn't get any grief from my family (either side thank goodness), but we did start doing certain things with the girls.
Once we set up the nursury, they were not allowed to go in there (we used a baby gate). We started to teach them how to "be quiet", and got them used to the basinet, swing, etc before we had the baby.
I made sure to introduce them to all of my friends babies of various ages, but they had both been around newborns before too.
Oh and I also taught them to stay down! Yes, we were "doggy parents" and the girls would sit with us in our chairs or on the couch, in bed LOL, jump up on us when we played with them etc, and I had taught them to jump up on me as a "good ending" when ever we had done any formal training, obedience or conformation.. so that was a big part of training while I was pregnant, no jumping up!
We used lots of praise and rewards, and would cuddle with them on the floor rather than in the chair. They adjusted very well, Ciera was the hardest to train to stay off our laps, but overall she got used to it, and we just made sure to pay her special attention on a different level.
When we brought our son home, the girls were staying with my parents while we were in the hospital, and we brought them home the next day.
I was probably extraordinarily lucky, but my girls took our new baby right in stride. They came up and sniffed him, and Kinseigh gave him a kiss (her nickname is Kiss, her tongue is notorious LOL).
They were still our girls, and followed us all over the house still, always concerned whenever he would cry, curious when we changed him or bathed him.
I had always been very firm about teaching my family and friends never to leave any dog unsupervised with children, so that was, and is, a given.
When our son got to crawling and then walking, I made sure that the girls had a place they could go to get away from him (which was our bedroom), but I taught them from the begining that they had to move away from him, not the other way around and NO growling was allowed, ever!
As my son got older (he is now 4), I taught him to be gentle with the dogs and taught him how to play fetch with them. I taught him how to leave them alone, and how not to bug them etc.
He is never been allowed to hit them, pull their ears, poke their eyes, or lay, jump or step on them.
He can sit beside them on the floor and pet them, but if they get up and move away from him, he is not allowed to pester them.
They have been taught to get up and move if they do not want his attention, to never growl or show any inclination of getting upset with him, to take things from him gently and to not knock him down charging through the door or playing fetch (though I have to say it did happen a couple times, it all takes time and constant SUPERVISION).
I hope this helps some :)
