Hand washing

thoughtfulmommy · November 2013

How often do you wash LO's hands? He has tons of finger jam and now that he puts his hands in his mouth constantly, he is always getting fluff and who knows what in his mouth.

We wash them once every couple of hours. His fingers are constantly in his mouth now.

I wash them in the bath or if they are looking dirty or if someone touched them but nothing regular. Im probably nasty.

This is me too, although I've started using a wipe to clean her hands at the start of every diaper change. It works well

Usually keep them clean with a boogie wipeor warm cloth. I don't like them to be all drooly plus we have a dog. Don't want a bunch of Abbey's hair in her mouth.

Thanks. I think I need to get into the routine of washing them it at least wiping them with water after each diaper change. He is starting to touch everything and proceeds to gnaw on his hands.

This, it's easy to remember.

Every diaper change makes it convenient!

Whenever they get a little too drooly I'll wipe them down but other than that they get cleaned in bath every night. Builds his immune system right?

We do it as needed. They're not really touching dirty stuff yet and were still very vigilant about hand washing (for ourselves) so they don't really get dirty.

This exactly

Really just bath time unless I notice something on them. I'm shocked how clean she keeps them. She's just starting to reach and grasp for things so I'm guessing the clean hands will soon disappear. I like the every diaper change approach...easy instructions for dh to remember!
