Just curious as I've read a couple of threads about people putting their fingers in baby's mouths...ew.
According to NHS guidelines its reasonable to ask people to wash their hands before handing a newborn, so it's something I can imagine asking my family...bit trickier with family-in law though...
Also, when is it ok for people to not wash their hands before holding baby? A month later, after the baby has built up a bit of an immune system?
