ELI5: how do dogs know to be gentle with babies?

I was just looking in another sub and thought about it, I always see dogs super gentle and slow around babies. Why?

Weve been breeding dogs for 40 thousand years to do things we want. The ones who didnt, didnt get to reproduce. Part of this was selecting for good hunting dogs, tracking dogs, guard dogs, but not murdering your children is also a trait that would be selected for.
