What Was the Outcome of Raising Your Child Around a Cat From Birth With Regards to Allergies?

by admin

I have a 4 month old daughter and I worry that she will be allergic to our cat. I was not raised around cats but have cat allergies. I tried to give the cat away during pregnancy but didn't cause everyone told me it would be fine. Who's right? If you raised your child from birth around your cat, what was the outcome? Did they have allergies? Thanks!

Raising children around pets actually makes them less likely to have allergies because their immune system becomes accustomed to the dander. I was raised around pets and I will raise my own children around pets some day. I have no allergies, and unless your child starts to show signs of allergies, don't even worry about it. =)
