Oh, just wanted to add - we were given tips by the trainer to help establish heirarchy (which is why there can be problems when new baby comes - the dog needs to re-establish where he belongs, which is the bottom). The trainer said don't let the dogs go in baby/kids rooms (train them to wait at the door for you when you go in), don't let them sleep up in the bed with you - should be on the floor preferably not in your room, don't let them enter a room before you or baby. I'm sure there was more but I forget. You can start now training them not to go in the nursery and not to go through doors first. Also can train them not to be possessive of their food if that's a problem. They may surprise you and be the most loving dogs to the baby - ya never know!
