Do you sanitize toys after your LO and friends' Los all slobber over the same toys? I hadn't really thought about it before, but now I'm wondering if I should!
If you do, what do you use to clean them?

I do if I see that something has gone into a LO's mouth. It's usually something plastic so I just wash it with hot water and soap.

Funny to read this as I'm in the process of doing this right now! We had a friend over yesterday who has three kids that are recovering from strep/colds. The two older ones knew to wash their hands, but the 18-month-old had everything in his mouth. Since my son is only 4 months, I figure better safe than sorry and I'm cleaning things that he puts in his mouth. Paranoid? Maybe, but it's worth a few minutes of my time if it prevents him from getting sick!
-
Nope, not unless a kid was seriously chewing on it the whole time. LO spends a lot of time around the same kids, so I don't stress about it---I figure they all share germs anyway.
-
We don't have people over much but I totally wipe stuff down when we do. I usually just use a warm rag with some dish soap.
-
Nope!
-
Yep
-
Nope. I don't see the point. She shares at daycare!
-
The thought never even crossed my mind!
-
Nope. Never even crossed my mind. I guess I would wash off a toy if I knew the kid was sick.
-
I did when she was much younger and they were all putting toys in their mouths.
-
I wish I was that careful, but no.
-
I have no time for that! Lord knows what she puts in her mouth at daycare, my friends' kids drool is like filtered water in comparison!
-
Nope, not unless the other kid has been sick...but even then, I figure they've probably shared germs already.
-
Not usually unless someone was sick or had a toy in their mouth. I clean the toys once every few weeks with Lysol anyway.
-
Nope
-
No. Wouldn't even occur to me.
-
Not unless the other child is sick. Kids need some germs.
-
Yes just Lysoled the PNP down after another baby with a runny nose was in it. If the kid is really sick I will Clorox wipe it down then rinse with water.
-
I totally did when LO1 was little. She put everything in her mouth and I was paranoid and I SAH so she didn't have the daycare exposure aspect.
-
I only do if I see a kid slobbering all over something.
-
I would never. Germ exposure is healthy, and a lack of it is very bad for children.
