We were quite careful at first not to leave him alone with the baby but we needn't have worried.
Our younger son was born a couple of years later and again Brodie was fine and was very patient with the boys even through their toddler years!
We sadly lost Brodie last year to cancer but we have 2 new Berners and they are also great with the boys who are now 9 and 7. From our experience we've found Berners are fantastic family dogs and just love being part of family life. They want to get involved in everything!
Hope that's of some help and good luck!
