We don't allow any of our animals (cats or dogs) in the room the baby sleeps in. The dogs are actually not allowed in any of the bedrooms regardless, and they are mostly outside dogs. But it is easier to enforce a blanket no animals in the babys sleeping room for all animals, they all pick it up very quickly, and the cats will usually find one of the other rooms instead, until we move let them back in (usually when bubs is big enough to move around properly, about 1yr old). It is about priority and pecking order, and also just safety. Our animals would never intentionally hurt a child, but they are still animals, and I refuse to take the risk without them being supervised, no matter how small the risk may seem.
