A member asked:
Is it safe to have a 5 week old kitten around an eleven month old baby? considering the fact that the baby is not allergic
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: From a health standpoint, there are no medical risks to having a kitten around your infant. It is important that your infant is never left alone with the kitten. This pretty much goes for most pets. An infant is defenseless, and a kitten has claws and can bite, so it is important never to leave your infant alone with the kitten.
