Thanks - these are great tips
I definitely wouldn't leave my dogs alone with him.
3/4 of them have been around babies before although only for visits, and that's obviously a bit different to the 24/7 scenario they'll be faced with in a few months!
Currently dogs aren't allowed in our room although the youngest one does come in at night when OH is away so I will start moving away from that at some point. they are allowed on the lounges but we've put that rule into place before (and then became a bit lax about it, hence them now sleeping on the lounge) so it shouldn't be hard to fix that one up if we choose to.
good to see that having a seperate area for them seems to work well.
