I like the babyganics toy and high chair spray (for the house) and wipes (for the diaper bag).

I use Milton sterilising wipes.

I just use baby wipes and have some 70% isopropyl alcohol in a small spray bottle in case I want to sanitize it.

I just run stuff under the sink or use a baby wipe. Am I gross?

Babyganics toy & highchair cleaner for the high chair or wooden/plastic toys. We also have UV sanitizer that we put certain things in. Lysol also makes a free & clear disinfectant spray that doesn't have fragrance.

Medela makes a sanitizing spray for pump parts. I used to just use a cloth to wipe off the toy and then spray it with the sanitizing spray 🤷🏼‍♀️

Spray isoprolyl alcohol and wipe off. Evaporates and a safe option for electronics

Vinegar solution or the honest sanitizing alcohol wipes

I am surprised they use it as alcohol is very harsh on babies skin. Our daycare uses a gentle soap and washes the kids hands frequently and it still bothers my daughter’s skin on her hands (started at 10mos and now 18mos). Also, norovirus (which can spread fast in daycares) can only be killed by soap and water, not alcohol.

I wouldn’t let them do it, but with daycare some battles are hard to fight and also most of the illness is going to be spread via respiratory droplets, so the hand hygiene is only going to do so much.

Ingesting even a small amount of alcohol-based hand sanitizer can be harmful. I'm sure they use a tiny squirt and rub it in so the kids can't really ingest any of it, but as someone who bites their nails, I can assure you that most hand sanitizer tastes bitter and disgusting. I would feel so bad for a baby who is just being a baby and stuffing everything in their mouth, or chewing on their fingers to make their teeth feel better, to get a big taste of hand sanitizer ever time.

I'd ask them not to, or send something that's designed for kids (and probably less effective), like the Boogie brand hand wipes, or even a hypochlorous spray, like the Munchkin HYPO3 diaper spray, Force of Nature, or Nellie's 99. The hypochlorous is a bit of an odd use case - either it's advertised for skin (Munchkin spray) but not as a hand sanitizer, or it's marketed as a surface disinfectant but not for skin. There may be more info/product suggestions here or here. One thing I consistently see is that hypochlorous acid solutions are not very stable, so make sure you pay attention to expiration dates on any storebought products to make sure it's as effective as advertised.

Maybe look into Hypochlorous Acid.. I use theforce of nature machine and make my own it is an epa registered cleaner and they say gentle enough to use on hands. Haven’t used it on my baby’s hands but I would in a pinch over alcohol sanitizers I think. We use it on everything, binkys, toys.. now I’m curious and going to look into it!

I found this so far https://verysimpl.com/disinfecting/how-to-use-hypochlorous-acid/

I use a mixture of dishsoap, hot water and vinegar. You can use this to clean everything from toilets to floors to windows and counters to baby toys. Perfectly safe

Regular dish soap. Hot soapy water is a very effective way to clean and safe for baby. You don't want to use chemicals on toys that baby puts in their mouth.

Babyganics Toy & High Chair Cleaner

If she’s getting sick from daycare, your better bet is sanitizing the baby rather than your own toys haha. Wash their hands as soon as you get home, change their clothes.

It’s great to clean their toys every so often as well but any germs she’s getting from her own home toys are the germs she’s already got in her body.

When I worked program support in a preschool, we used bleach as part of our licensing requirements for disinfection. You can make a 10% solution and wipe surfaces (use the solution within 24 hours, since bleach breaks down in water and loses efficacy). Make sure toys are clean too before bleaching when you disinfect—wash away any grime with soapy water first.

That being said, your child is going to get sick sometimes from daycare and school, whether they are sanitizing properly or not. It’s an unpleasant part of being a kid, but an important part of building a strong immune system. The good news is that the cold virus they bring home won’t be able to reinfect them once they have that immunity. I wouldn’t stress too much about disinfecting everything for this cold—she already has it. Hand washing is probably the best thing to do at home, but talk to your pediatrician if you’re concerned about how much you should be sanitizing.

Not exactly what you asked, but adjacent.

Cleaning products: Their chemistry, effects on indoor air quality, and implications for human health

A quick search didn't find anything about specific products.

We have air purifiers in the main rooms. They definitely help with smell and allergens. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-air-purifier/

Water wipes are safest for baby bath wipes. Mother Sparsh baby wipes are awesome for on the go.

I use these CLINIQO Premium Sterile Wipes.

I have not used anything specifically when I travelled. I use bub’s bottle wash for his toys at home.

Just asking aloud -

Why not cleaning solution which can be used for bottles on toys and multi surface cleaning solution? I use windmill baby for bottle washing & toys. They also have a multi surface cleaner

Cleansmart is alcohol free and tested to kill RSV, and Covid.

So that the issue with hand sanitizer is that it dryes out your hands so you can use hand sanitizer but you should also use hand lotion on both you and your toddler. As to wipes there is nothing dangerous about using wipes on everything else.

This shows why washing hands with soap and water is effective (the soap helps the germs get washed away with the water). I would not rely on soap without running water. OP, what are your specific concerns with alcohol based wipes?

The risks of limited use of alcohol wipes are less than the risks of Covid, norovirus, the flu, RSV, and other bacteria/virus that are transmissible by surfaces.

Use what is accessible to you to wipe down surfaces (alcohol wipes evaporate the fastest) and alcohol free hand sanitizers.

> Not good at killing norovirius which has different kind of surface.

On phone so no sources. But as someone who was suffering from norovirus last week: The NHS said alcohol was ineffective but soap was.

I thought the science showed fomite transmission is exceedingly rare, like to the point of being a non-issue?

I get with a toddler hands are everywhere and then in the mouth much more, but wouldn't just wiping down the area you sit in on the bus be an option?

At the same time oversanitizing is not healthy. Children need constant supply of germs to build their immune system.

Honestly they are going to find something dirty to lick no matter what anyway.

I m using citta brand baby products. Their skin care for babies are safe, chemical-free, and cruelty free, too. Very light,mild, and gentle on skin ingredients used.

Dr Browns sterilizer/Dryer is like $100.. I've also seen them on marketplace new for about $50. Unless your baby is premie you really don't need one

I use the Philipps avent and it works fine. Was about 60€ on Amazon.

Too bad baby doesn’t like bottles.

I was adamant if we formula fed I’d need a fancy steriliser and formula maker to make life easier.

We started with the microwave steriliser and never felt that we needed more. I think we paid $12 from Target.

Get one that washes and sterilizes. I didn’t realize when I bought mine that it not only wouldn’t save me time and effort, it would be double (really quadruple) the time and effort.

I used the type you just put in the microwave and it was fine. I had a smaller kitchen at the time so I was trying to avoid an extra thing that needed to be plugged in.
