Hand sanitizer is so overused! And scientifically, it is actually good for immune systems to have exposure to germs here and there and to learn how to fight them off. We shouldn't be trying to kill everything they're exposed to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2271341 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 08:04:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2271341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely. We just use a baby wipe or wash in the sink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2271337 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 07:58:34 +0000 yoursilverlining 2271337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I never use it on myself or LO. I don't think they really work, and good old soap and water works just fine. I am also ok with germs. LO is rarely sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2271310 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 07:17:55 +0000 tinyperson 2271310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just if we've been at the children's farm near my parents place...they have hand sanitizer at the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2271278 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 06:15:14 +0000 travellingbee 2271278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, if I need to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2271251 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 02:58:50 +0000 getjazzy 2271251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not on a regular basis but I have used it on occasion when we are out and he's touched something dirty or an animal, or if I have nothing else on hand and he's going to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2271244 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 00:18:47 +0000 HabesBabe 2271244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I don't "believe" in it. I think it's overused, so I rarely use it (maybe once or twice a year?). I feel like exposing my kids to small amounts of germs and bacteria strengthens their immune systems... I'm probably 100% scientifically wrong, but meh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2271240 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 23:49:29 +0000 sometimesshesings 2271240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only very rarely, like if he's sharing toys with a kid who seems sick. Isn't there some research suggesting that using too many sanitizers contributes to superbugs and doesn't do your immune system much good in the longrun? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2270934 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 14:29:47 +0000 looch 2270934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it if we needed to wash hands and couldn't use a sink for whatever reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2270931 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 14:26:03 +0000 regberadaisy 2270931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I'm not a fan of them really. I always have wipes with us and we use that to clean her hands if we don't have access to a bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2270919 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 14:06:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2270919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not often but I will in certain situations- sometimes combined with a wipe. If she touched stuff on public transportation or we were someplace extra germy during cold and flu season, I will. I usually do wipes as well though since I feel like that actually removes dirt, or especially after meals. </p> <p>Obviously soap and water is preferred. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2270916 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 14:05:15 +0000 Alexandra603 2270916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hand sanitizer is not good for you.

Like if we are at the doctor and they have some he always wants a little squirt. Or when we were in the city and it seemed dirty I was loading him up, haha! 😁 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2270799 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 10:21:35 +0000 Mamasig 2270799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I wash their hands or use wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer-on-your-lo#post-2270754 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 09:02:27 +0000 twodoghouse 2270754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Babyganics (alcohol free) foaming stuff that I put on when we're out of the house and they get messy/gross (or touch animals or something).

Now that's she's 2.5 we started using hand sanitizer like Purrell on her. Are alcohol based sanitizers safe for kids? She doesn't stick her hands on her mouth or anything. What do you use to clean your LO's hands when you are out and about? </p>
