Hello, i've been using alot of hand sanitizer with the whole covid-19 situation with either ethenol or alochol. just wondered if that's safe while pregnant as i'm 6 weeks? can it penetrate to baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sanitizer: The washing of hands with soap and water is the best while pregnant. Nevertheless, In the absence of soap and water, the CDC recommends using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60 percent alcohol. Good luck.
