Thanks for this - aye, we're planning on the baby noise thing, and introducing him to other babies in the meantime. At least if he has the baby-eating instinct we'll find out first.

My dog got pissed off for a few weeks. Then realised the new order and loved the kid. Then the kid pulled his hair loads and now he avoids the kid.
We didn't do anything before.The dog does growl at the kid if the kid is poking him or stepping on his tail but then gets up and walks off to be alone so I've not worried. Just taught the kid to leave the dog along and not be a prick. Obvs just don't leave then alone.

We bought a couple of books, and had a zoom call with a dog behaviourist which I remember was quite useful at the time as my wife suddenly got very anxious about it.
Can't remember too much of what we did, but I do recall daft things like playing crying noises in the bassinet before the baby arrived to get them used to the sound. Two years in and they haven't eaten her.
