If it is unworkable the dog is going, hopefully to a new home.

I have been called crazy before, but never insane!
Lots of dogs do great with babies (dog or human). They often seem to understand that they are babies. That said, when I was born, my dad had a GSD that was jealous of my mother. When I was born they gave the dog to someone else because they were afraid the dog was going to be jealous of me.

I remember an episode of "The Dog Whisperer" where the family dog would snap at the mother and even occasionally the father, but was 100% submissive to the baby. Cesar said that they had made the baby the "alpha" but had never done that with themselves. I thought that was interesting and funny.
