What are the odds that our baby would be allergic to cats?

We have cats and neither of us are allergic to them, neither are any of our parents. Is that a good sign that our baby won't be either?

Your kid will probably be just fine, only in very rare cases do allergies develop after the fact, and in these cases, it is a severe allergy to a number of different things.My sister and husband just had a baby girl, and they have two cats (who are scared of the baby So far, no allergies and the baby is 2 months old now.

studies have shown that children who have been raised with animals (dogs, cats, etc) are far less likely to have allergies to animals & allergies in general.

Your baby might be just fine, and not have allergic reactions to cats. Its not really they are allergic to your cats, its the dandruff on the animal. My parents and their parents aren't allergic to cats, but I am. I'm just allergic to dandruff that gets on them, just all animals.

actually studies have proven that children exposed to pets are less likely to have allergies then those who live in pet-free homes.
