Is dog Advocate harmful to babies?

We have just wormed our french bulldog with Advocate, as she’s terrible with taking tablets so the vet prescribed us the liquid for the back of the neck. But my LO has just turned one and she’s on the move and puts everything in her mouth. Is it safe if she touched the dog and then put her hands in her mouth after? Im a little worried she might get poorly. At the moment we just keep them totally separate but just incase there was an incident , it would be reassuring to know what others do!

product info here. If she touches the place it was applied, wash her hands straight away. Once the greasy looking sheen where it was applied has gone I wouldn’t be overly worried.

User Safety: Avoid contact with skin, eyes or mouth. Do not eat, drink or smoke during application. Wash hands thoroughly after use. In case of accidental spillage onto skin, wash off immediately with soap and water. After application do not stroke or groom animals until the application site is dry.
People with a known hypersensitivity to either benzyl alcohol, imidacloprid or moxidectin should administer the product with caution. In very rare cases the product may cause skin sensitisation or transient skin reactions (for example allergy, irritation or tingling). If the product accidentally gets into eyes, they should be thoroughly flushed with water.
If symptoms persist, or the product is accidentally swallowed, seek medical attention and show the package insert to the physician.
