I would tend to agree with the other two replies, I would not get a toy dog with such a small child, my grand-daughter who is 2 and half yrs comes over and we have to be extra careful of her and my dogs as she tends to want to play but is way too rough with the dogs. I would also recommend getting a bigger dog and wait a little bit until your baby gets a bit older and understand that you have to be gentle with the pooch. However you decide - good luck..
