Ladies is it true I can't have pets in the house after I have my baby? My dr knows I have a cat and…

Yes you can have pets. Some people think you shouldn't, put I have cats and dogs an I don't plan on getting rid of any. I grew up around pets even as a baby it's totally safe

@lizramos1, the only thing doctors are worried about it the litter. it can't be in the same room as the baby and if the cat goes in it you need to wipe their paws off if they are gonna touch the baby. the dust is bad for them. that's why you can't change it while pregnant. I had a kitten when I was pregnant and had a newborn.

You can have animals. Just while you're pregnant you can't change the litter box. And be careful letting them sleep with baby. Babies are warm and cats like to sit on warm things so they may sit on baby's face and smother him/her. I have 2 cats and I plan on keeping them, they just aren't allowed in the bedroom once my son arrives

@lizramos1, you can have pets!

You can, just make sure you keep the cat away while baby is asleep in the crib, they like to lay very close and there's a smothering concern

Of course you can keep your fur babies! It is actually wonderful for your child if they grow up with lets. Less likely to have allergies and they develop a love for animals!

Thank y ladies
