Want to take my 9 month old to the petting farm. I know when you're pregnant you are supposed to steer clear of sheep and lambing but not sure what the risk is to babies? LO will be in her buggy the whole time so it's not like she will actually be touching the animals so I would have thought it's actually safer than taking a toddler??
There's a soft play at the farm so maybe there's a bit of risk from that if older children have been petting animals and not washed their hands properly and then go around the soft play, but I would have thought that's not a huge risk, especially as my baby isn't a newborn. What are your thoughts? She is just on the cusp of starting to show interest in animals so think she will enjoy it (not as much as a toddler obviously).
