Nothing is cuter than seeing your baby curled up against your first love, your puppy. But should you worry about your child developing allergies at an early age? Nope, says, Dr. Scott Cohen. In fact, exposing your child to animals at an early age may actually decrease the risk of allergies later on. And despite, what you may have heard, the same thing goes for introducing foods as well. (Always check with your physician first!) So go ahead, let your kids snuggle up with Spot. It's fun, harmless, and completely adorable. Just keep the hand wipes standing by!
