AGREED! Maximo gives Excellent advice!!
I also think if the puppy is so young, maybe give it some time. My puppy took over a year to get used to my fiance's dad. Scottie was so scared of him, not because his dad hurt him or anything (he actually wanted to play with Scottie everytime by just saying hello or giving him a little whistle), but Scottie seemed to be afraid of most men. Anyway, after one year, he finally realized he's not a threat and they play together.
I've also noticed that Scottie is afraid of babies/kids when we walk on the street. I think it kind of boils down to what they don't know that they're afraid of. Give them time, be in the same room as the puppy and child, limit their interaction if it gets bad, and use the firm "no"s as others advised.
Merry Christmas!!!
