As a general principle dogs at home require and thrive on consistency. Be it meal times, boundaries in behaviour , areas they can and cant go to, when, where and how they play, etc etc. all of that is put into place as a pup, or when the dog arrives at your home. Break it, and the dog becomes unsure and anxious.

Ok Baby arrives.

Its very easy to add things if the rest is consistent. Baby is just another single addition, if you maintain consistency in the rest, its easy to add something new. Change other stuff as well and the dog will, correctly, assume the addition is to blame.

You are right, ignoring the dog as punishment or to modify behaviour is most definitely the wrong thing to do, and will be creating issues, specially in a high drive dog like a spaniel.
