You’re painting their nursery, filling your registry, inventorying supplies, and oh yeah, growing a human! Don’t worry, mama, we’ve got all of the answers to your hand sani questions.
Is hand sanitizer safe for mom and baby? The short answer: yes. The FDA states hand sanitizer is safe for expectant mothers and have started additional research on certain ingredients to further prove their point.
