How often do you wash your toddler’s hands?

[alwaystired7]

Just that really. Also how do you do it? Stand them on a chair at the kitchen sink?

Before and after eating and when we come home from being out. Obviously any other time they are dirty.

We are out once or twice a day and then we don’t wash hands after dinner as have a bath so around 5-8 times a day BUT my toddler is a messy one and delights in getting his hands/face/body covered in anything available to cause mess.

Sounds like a lot, but doesn’t feel like it in reality, I’m not super concerned about germs just trying to instil good hygiene.

Oh and we have a stool next to the bathroom sink and a tap extender so the water comes out at an appropriate place for him rather than him having to reach really far forward.

Used to be constantly when mine were little. They rarely were unwell as a result.
