[Princess10]

When my cousin was over it was three adults total, my teen girl, 7 y.o. and her 2 year old son. With one adult, my daughter, and his sister in the same room while his mom and I were in an adjoining room he tried to punt Princess across the room. It traumatized her for quite some time to be around any aged child no matter how gentle their past was with her. She also had a pocket of fluid build up on her vertebrae that caused concern for a couple months. Never again. I don't even think the child has been back since, but if he does come Princess will not be accessible. It'd be terribly difficult & unfair to keep your child & pup apart every time you want to turn your back for a second.

I'd be very leery at that age. While I know many 2 year olds that know how to treat animals he was the exception & I'll never risk it again. I'd hold off and enforce more positive interactions between your baby and all living beings in the mean time. IMO. Plus, Princess was & sometimes still is the work of a toddler, I can't imagine having one skin & one fur at the same time, though I know it can be done.
