Not necessarily. When we had our baby 26 years ago. We talked to the dog more than the baby. Later when baby was in there highchair dog would sit and stare at food then eat anything that landed on floor.

So do people who let dogs and very small children play unattended together.

Dogs are not people, and are carnivores with a dog's level of understanding. I don't think I would let a dog this close to an infant until I was sure the animal was used to it, and I would never let a dog and an infant/ toddler in the same room unless I was keeping a close eye on the situation.

You never know when a dog, even one you've known for years who is well trained and has a history of good behavior, will attack an infant.

Obviously it depends on the breed but most of the time the risk isn't the dog attacking the baby but the dog getting over protective of the baby to the point it doesn't allow anyone else near it without aggression. So yes, gotta keep the distance between the dog and the baby to establish the Pack dynamics and get the dog to learn that the baby is an extension of your authority. You shouldn't leave the dog unsupervised with the baby either but like, that's also true with most things. You generally don't leave babies this young unsupervised

In foreign countries having a real guard dog at home with young kids is the best security/daycare you’ll get. My rotti got out one time and I found him down the street playing with a three year old kid and his dad. Had the kids pet him while he ate too as a puppy so food is never an issue.

Yeah, dogs and kids are great. With babies you have to be more careful as you are still establishing where that baby fits in the new pack dynamic. Again, most things I've read all point to usually the issue isn't the dog hurting the baby but becoming too aggressive towards others trying to protect the baby. This causes issues when say grandma comes over and tries to pick up crying baby. Dog doesn't understand that grandma is trying to help just that baby is in distress. If you've adequately enforced that the baby is under your authority as Pack leader, instead the dog will look to you for feedback and seeing that you are OK with grandma and baby, will defer to that authority.

Having a dog this close to a newborn?

We have a dog and 4 month old and I'd never do this because of the germs

An over sanitized environment is the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot. The immune system need exposition to develop and stay strong. Early exposure to animals have been shown to reduce risk of allergy and asthma.
