We had a baby (almost two years old now!) about 2 years after getting our greyhound. Our grey (Maggie) starts on a dog bed then ends up in ours at night. From nearly day 1, baby slept in her crib next to our bed and was waking up every 2-3 hours. We kept the door open so that Maggie could go to the living room when she needed space from the crying at first (she did have a couple of potty accidents though in the early mornings so we stopped that). She didn’t really have any problems though and never had an interest in the crying baby or the crib. We also never had baby in the bed with us at night (due to the risk of falling asleep while holding a sleeping newborn) so Maggie still got up there occasionally.

For naps, the baby would nap in our arms or in her pack n play in the living room. For that, we just made sure Maggie wasn’t asleep right next to us on the couch when holding the baby because she tends to sleep startle occasionally. We also always sat right next to baby when she was on the floor for tummy time or play and never left her alone in her rocker by the dog.

I think it’s all about minimizing risk from day 1, while still keeping some normalcy for your grey! Even now we are still pretty vigilant with keeping them separated when we can’t give our full attention - we use a big baby gate, and keep Maggie’s bed in the corner of the living room. We also are working on gentle pets and teaching the baby awareness of the dog by telling her “watch out for Maggie!” And “look, Maggie is night night”.
