If you've been sick, you're not going to get reinfected with that same strain. Sanitizing toys after a big illness is just wasted effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sanitize-toys#post-2024528 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:42:59 +0000 blackbird 2024528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shit maybe that's why we can't get better LOL! I've been spraying with Lysol but it's not a regular thing. I wash stuffed animals and pillows and blankets </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sanitize-toys#post-2024398 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:58:06 +0000 chopsuey 2024398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to when everything went into their mouths.<br /> Now I rarely clean toys. Every once in a while (usually before we have kids over) I'll wipe surfaces and clean toys. </p> <p>I do wash stuffed animals often though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sanitize-toys#post-2024395 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:56:56 +0000 Grace 2024395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even once. Is that why I have the most horrid cold of my life? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sanitize-toys#post-2024386 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:53:12 +0000 stargal 2024386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wipe the bug stuff down about every other week and clean little toys maybe every 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sanitize-toys#post-2024370 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:49:44 +0000 Bao 2024370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids were both pretty sick the past week, stomach bugs, ear infections, viruses, coughs and colds. The works. I never thought to sanitize any toys because I never have before unless some other kid was over that was spreading their germs. I cleaned/sanitized bedding and other surfaces, but not the toys they played with/LO2 put in her mouth. I probably should have. </p> <p>Do you sanitize toys on a regular basis? Or only if your LO is sick? Or not at all? </p>
