Example Reader's Question for Andrew

Our two Labradoodles have always slept inside and been allowed to go anywhere in the house, as that is what my husband wanted. I am worried about them being inside when our baby is born in February but my husband insists on them still staying inside, what can I do? And do you think it's a problem they stay inside whilst the baby is on the floor in a bouncer etc?...
