Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I am afraid of door knobs.

That's my irrational fear, or rational.  I find myself opening doors with my sleeve or stepping away to allow others to open the door for me.  Anyone else worry about door knobs or other public things?

  • NOpe, I'm the same way.  I get weird looks sometimes when I use paper towels or whatever to open doors, but people are gross!

  • Surprisingly I haven't been very paranoid about anything yet.  Maybe it's because I wash my hands all the time anyway.  I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for a relatively illness-free winter.

  • I think I am at the opposite end of the spectrum. I should be more worried about germs than I am.
  • I don't like to touch door handles in public bathrooms
  • It's not all that bad to come into contact with germs, that's how we build immunities.  I wash my hand frequently, but I don't go nuts trying to sanitize any and everything my family comes into contact with.  I like that DD licks the floor in my house and my parents house...she's getting some germs that will help build up her immune system.  Do I let her lick the grocery cart?  Not until I wipe it down with a disinfecting wipe.  But do I wipe down all of her toys, etc all the time?  Nope.  And I don't flip out when she licks a shoe, or manages to find and immediately suck on a dog toy.  I take them away, but it doesn't panic me.
