A member asked:
Today a woman had been cleaning with alcohol. afterward, she allowed my 5m old daughter to suck on her finger. can this harm my daughter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alcohol on finger: your baby should not suck on anybody's finger even if it was clean, I doubt if the amount of alcohol she might have sucked from that finger in one single incident will cause any harm to your baby , but please don't allow that woman to do that again it is a very bad practice & she might introduce germs in her mouth & cause infections. Food luck. Enjoy your bundle of joy.
