We have a bottle in the kitchen and in the nursery and tons of little bottles everywhere. We wash our hands frequently but always use a squirt before we touch LO. He was a late preterm baby so we are a little extra-precautious.</p> <p>ETA: I think it's also much faster than hand washing, so it's nice to be able to grab a quick squirt when time is of the essence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-769047 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:32:45 +0000 Smurfette 769047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After diaper changes since their isn't a bathroom eight next to her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-769036 Thu, 09 May 2013 00:49:45 +0000 sunny 769036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I squirt it on a tissue and wipe my phone down with it. I don't really use it for my hands because I would just rather wash my hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-769025 Thu, 09 May 2013 00:04:52 +0000 tlcbaby 769025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never - I keep a bottle in my purse in case I need it and can't wash my hands, but I don't keep any at the house. When baby gets here I would rather have people wash their hands than use sanitizer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-769020 Wed, 08 May 2013 23:57:29 +0000 HLK208 769020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash and then sanitize!

I always feel dirty with just hand sanitizer. As if all I did was move the germs around. I don't believe that the little bit of time in contact with ethanol is enough to kill as much as "they" say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-769006 Wed, 08 May 2013 23:16:09 +0000 teamjse 769006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh is the only person that use it at our house. I just wash my hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-768990 Wed, 08 May 2013 22:50:05 +0000 Ree723 768990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep it on the change table and will use it as soon as I've put the clean nappy on. I still usually wash my hands once I've finished up and put LO back down to play, but I don't like touching her with nappy hands and I certainly am not going to leave her on the table to go wash then. Other than that, I just wash my hands with soap and water rather than sanitizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-768878 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:58:34 +0000 autumnlove 768878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-768874 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:56:13 +0000 photojane 768874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only time I use it at home is after I change a poo. Otherwise we don't go out of our way to sanitize or have others do it either.

I use it in between hand washings and for guests if they want to touch my baby. It usually gets used right after hand washing, after touching the dogs and/or just before touching her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-768860 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:48:06 +0000 chopsuey 768860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAha.

I always wash my hands at home and when my LO was very little, I instructed everyone to do the same, rather than use the sanitizer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-768849 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:43:22 +0000 katsupgirl 768849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I use it after changing her diaper since I keep the bottle by the changing table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-768842 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:40:59 +0000 Bao 768842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it in between washing them just to be extra clean I guess... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-sanitizer-at-home#post-768832 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:36:51 +0000 shopaholic 768832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on a lot of pre-baby prep reading, I stocked up on hand sanitizer for the house. I mean, I have like 3 HUGE things of hand sanitizer for our house. But I realized if I feel like I need to sanitize my hands, then I will just wash them. When my mom and dad used just the hand sanitizer, I ordered them to just walk to the bathroom and wash their hands since it only takes a few seconds. So now I have what seems like a lifetime supply of hand sanitizer. </p> <p>I think I will just use it to refill my little purse/travel bottles. When do YOU use hand sanitizer at home? </p>
