Dogs exhibiting strange behavior around my 5 day old newborn.

Since we've come home with our new baby girl, my two dogs have been acting strangely and I cannot read their body language or intentions.

Whenever our baby makes a noise/cries they come running and try to get to her, not in an aggressive way I would say. They both come and try to lick/sniff, but also start whining loudly and sometimes barking which can get overwhelming whilst in the middle of trying to change her diaper or feed her or do anything tbh.

I understand a dogs curiosity but the whining and barking/ obsessive behavior has me concerned and quite frankly overwhelmed.

Has anyone else experienced this and can provide advice on how to deal/train them to be more relaxed around the baby?
