Really slowly, cautiously, and with as much patience as possible is really the only advice I can give. I had my boys when we had our first dog, an American Pit who was six when our oldest was born. Our dog was absolutely lovely and had never ever even growled at anyone, but we were still sure to watch all the time. We had one incident when she growled when the toddler yanked her ear. She was immediately corrected and it never happened again. That said, I am a very strong believer that young children and dogs should never, ever be left alone together, no matter the breed or size of the dog, or the temperament of the child. Anything can happen at anytime and it's just not worth the risk.
