9 Useful Tips On Baby Hygiene

1. Wash Your Hands
It is very important for both the parents to wash their hands with a good antibacterial soap before they pick up their baby. If you touch your baby without using a hand sanitizer, he/she could become susceptible to harmful germs and suffer from infections like colds, diarrhea, flu, etc. It is also very important to wash your hands before preparing your baby’s food or feeding. Never forget to wash your hands after changing the nappies or using the restroom.
