Well, cat allergies usually come from the dried saliva and dander on the fur, not the fur itself. Lots of kittens don't get the hang of grooming right away. My cat Bubba wasn't any good at it until he was about 3 months old (before that whenever he'd try he'd just roll and fall over!) I'd say give the baby some time to get the hang of it. You could also go out and buy a soft brush and groom her yourself, this would help reduce the loose fur and dander. They also make pet wipes that you could use, which are moistend and clean the fur more deeply than brushing. Good luck and I want to see pictures!
