Hello..
Well if the hairs are too small then it may a part of air and act as an allergen..
It may aggrevate asthma...coming to your second question..i don't think it's a problem to your baby.keeping cat is safe...many people keep cats as pets... generally they don't shed that much hairs also..so don't worry...thank you
