Sanitizer: Without knowing what product you are using it is impossible to be definitive, but the chances of this doing harm to your baby are infinitessimally small.

Hand sanitizer: Hand sanitizers are most effective if alcohol based; the alcohol largely evaporates. However, if used as directed (a small amount rubbed until dry) this should not harm your baby. When available, use soap and water or alcohol based hand sanitizer.
