A few simple (although practically impossible with a new-born) things to do are:

[li]When one parent deals with the baby, the other parent occupies the dogs. Share the attention.[/li]
[li]Do not allow contact between them for several days, even weeks. Take your time and be gradual.[/li]
[li]Rather than telling the dogs off for wanting to get close to the baby, reward them for being good near the baby, like sitting for example. Vizslas learn faster from positive training.[/li]
