I have two Chihuahua dogs at home and I have a 9 month old baby,i want to know if dog hairs are bad for babies since my dogs shed too much hair and it's impossible to sweep for her to be crawling having dogs around.

Not unless the child is allergic to it. I have raised three kids with a house full of cats and Newfs. Baby drool and baby stickiness DOES not go well with Newf hair!!!! The kids would be COVERED in it. All was well. A little soap and water goes a long way.
Dog hair does NOT give someone ASTHMA!!! Dog hair may affect you asthma, but it does not cause it!!!!! And there are no more germs on the dog hair than there are on your floor anyway.

Hair may be the least of your problems. Never leave the dog alone with the baby. Dogs, especially small dogs, can be very snippy around babies and toddlers. There is a jealousy factor with many of them. Always pay equal attention to both your baby and the dog while in the same room with them. If you had a bigger dog, your question would be about aggressive behavior. Well, small dogs are aggressive too.

Just do your normal house hold cleaning unless baby is asthmatic/allergic to dog hair..
My children survived eating dirt and snails etc. when they were crawling.
Be careful with the dogs and never leave the child unsupervised with the dogs no matter how friendly they seem. Babies are inclined to wave their arms and excite dogs.

depend if you havent clean youre house can cause alot of dogs hairs , even dusts will have the baby have a bad allergic , even gave bad health . but if youre dogs havent been groom or brushed for a long time then your whole house can carried alot of dogs hairs and even dusts can make youre child have bad breath during the day. so it better just take the dogs out side , gave them groomed with shorter hairs .

I've actually heard that growing up with a dog or cat can reduce the likelihood of having allergies.
And I don't think hair will hurt her...don't let her eat it by the handful or anything, but, otherwise, it's no problem.

If they have allergies. You should have looked into the type of breed you got before you had kids. Your kid is more important than your pet. Some breeds hardly shed, if at all, and some have human type hair that does not bother allergy sufferers. You may luck out and have a kid that is not bothered by your type of dog though.

I'm not sure but I think they can potentially become allergic to it. But i'm not an expert so you should ask a vet or a doctor just to be completely sure !
Happy Thanksgiving to all and God Bless you with afull stomach!

that's not really a hairy dog..
i wouldn't worry about it too much as long as your child doesn't seem alergic.
But, i would make sure to clean up the hair often just incase.

i would not let your dogs around your baby....the dirty air can cause serious damage to your babies lungs....make up a timing were your dogs can play and have your baby no around them...then switch...its best for your baby...
