Am I the only one who finds people who insist on sanitising their hands every time before handling a baby strange? I feel washing your hands is good enough. One cannot possibly sanitise the world and it could lower your baby's immunity.. Does it? I would do it if the parent prefers it , of course :) Any thoughts mummies?

Personally, I sanitised my hands every time when I had to touch my baby when she was in her first month just to be safe. Now, I just clean my hands with soap because she's older and stronger now. It's probably a personal preference. I would say the older they are, the stronger they should be and hence we can be more relaxed about sanitizing.
