I agree, because of being penned most of the time when baby is out, negative feelings are the predominant association with the baby. The only way to accept the baby as a normal part of the family is to have normal interactions, on a regular basis. Given that time, eventually they will become friends, best friends. The normal relationship between a dog and child is that the dog take on the role of protector to the child, but the dog has to be given a chance. It will take time and is not easy.. I don't envy you. It is hard to take those tiny baby step chances... good luck..
