How do you keep your DC hands clean? What do you use?
My DS is 3 mo and his hands are CONSTANTLY in his mouth! It drives me nuts. I just wipe them with baby wipes and then water but I am so worried about germs and also worried that he will get the stuff i use to clean them in his mouth. i can't use regular anti-bac wipes right? what do you use?

Re: How do you keep your DC hands clean? What do you use?
What else is he touching that you're afraid of? unless people are touching his hands or he's touching something dirty, I wouldn't be concerned with his putting his own (clean) hands in his mouth. 
Is he teething?

Re: How do you keep your DC hands clean? What do you use?
my dd is 10wks old and loves to put her hand and thumb in mouth.. I just wash with aveeno wash in morning and at night. I figure shes not touching anything and no one touches her, so i dont worry to much about it.

He grabs EVERYTHING! And, he is such a maniac on the changing table he sometimes gets his hands in the way...YUCK! Also, people touching his hands. And, he grabs at his bibs and burp cloths and clothes so much he gets the fuzz in his hands and then it ends up in his mouth.
I'm not sure if he is teething? I think it is too early right? How would I know?

aww!! I can only imagine! Try to do your best. wipes are a great way to keep his hands clean but sometimes you cannot always be there to wipe them away, so don't beat yourself up about it
He may be teething. If he has alot of drooling and if his hands are constantly in his mouth, he may be. remember teething can start early on but you may not see a tooth for months from now. both my kids started drooling early on and they each had a tooth by 5 months! so it may very well be possible.
