I believe it depends on the household. If you expose them to children and babies when they are young...they probably won't have a problem. My yorkie loves children and babies. What you want to be careful with is how the children are going to be with the dogs. Kids don't realize how fragile yorkies can be, and they may not realize how rough they are being with the dogs...so just teach your children to be gentle with the dogs...and of course teach the dog to be gentle with the babies and children.
