cats and baby

I am expecting my first child. I have 2 cats that are so spoiled and such mama boys. Up until now they have been my "kids" i am so nervous about introducing the baby and having them freak out and hate me and the baby! Does anybody have any tips on introducing cats to a new born?  Thanks!

Get crib pack n play swing etc set up now asap so they can start learning to stay off those things spray them with water and keep aluminum foil in there to scare them off of it when ur not around. Ive also heard of ppl getting a baby doll and treating just like a real baby to get animals used to lo but idk about that cuz obviously a real baby is going to make sounds move and smell way different than a plastic doll but something to try.
