I have a 3-month-old child. Is it too soon to get them a kitten?

Hmm, what’s your situation?  Where are you living now, and do you have any other pets?

We live in a house with a small garden and my partner has a dog but she is very old and doesn't want to interact with the baby

Well it does seem that you have space and safety for a kitten, and if you’re not going to introduce a dog to the kitten then I don’t think you need to wait until the dog passes.  In general, I’d recommend keeping a kitten and any other pets separate for a few weeks, but that shouldn’t be difficult at the moment since your baby isn’t crawling.

I'm concerned about the baby hurting a kitten as she is always trying to grab everything and put it in her mouth
