Depends a lot on the breed of dog. Most dogs instinctively recognise a new born and will generally be protective of it. However, it could also view it as a treat and act accordingly.
Best to hold you baby in your arms and gently show it to your dog, looking for any abnormal signs. Dropped tail could mean a problem. Take the baby away and leave it for a while and try again.
If the dog sniffs and looks to lick, slowly move the baby away but keep it at arms length. If all looks good, let the dog sniff the baby.
If that all looks good, then the dog has probably accepted the baby.
** NOTE ** Do not take this as the dog has accepted the baby. Never leave the baby alone with the dog and never your baby closer to the dog than you.
In most cases you will be fine, but sometimes......
As always, be vigilant. Most dogs will accept your baby and will have some paternal instincts, but they cannot be trusted.
