SHOULD BE OK: I am not sure that everclear will necessarily get into your system to a dangerous degree through your skin but try to avoid chemicals when cleaning or wear gloves and mask. To get fetal alcohol syndrome would take more than this and involve ingestion which obvious is an absolute no.

Baby: I don’t think you absorbed enough toxin through your skin to negatively affect your baby. As you know, however, it is wise to wear gloves when cleaning. Good luck and enjoy your baby!
