I don't have much to offer...but first congratulations on the new baby!! That's very exciting.

Something I once heard I thought was cool. The mother had the baby in the hospital...and the night before she was to come home, the husband brought the blanket that the baby had been sleeping on home, and gave it to the pup. That way when the baby came home, the pup recognized the smells, and was a little more used to it. I hope that makes sense...
