Advice regarding kitten and 8 month old child?

definitely do not have the kitten in your room with the baby. You should only have them together when you are there to supervise. I have a 5 month old son and a 3 month old puppy and the puppy sleeps in the kitchen of a night. She used to cry when i first got her but you have to be strong and not go to them, they need to get used to being alone at times. Your baby's health and safety is more important than the kitten being a little lonely of a night. She'll get used to it x
