[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this a problem for you? Presumably you would be ok with your baby sucking on your or DH's finger (if not, you have even bigger issues). All I'm getting from this post is you think your nanny is somehow "dirtier" than you/not good enough for your baby. Uh, what?[/quote]

I would not be ok with him sucking on DH finger or mind,  hands are filthy, and he is two weeks old.  His immune system isn't built up enough yet.[/quote]

Hm. I really don't think you ought to be worried about this, provided that hands are washed and common sense is being followed. If one were breastfeeding him, he'd be putting his little mouth on skin all the time. And unless there are special concerns in his case, he is at this very moment encountering bacteria and doing fine. Normal exposure is OK, unless he's premature, etc.[/quote]

I don't know about you, but I don't use my breast to open bathroom doors.

Hands are proven to be filthy, breasts usually are not.[/quote]

Time to put that baby in a bubble then.  Cuz that baby is going to be inundated with germs throughout his life.  And if you hired a professional I bet her hands are cleaner than yours.  You seriously need to relax and realize that germs help build your baby's immunity system.  Of course keep your baby away from any germs that can cause illness.  But you have lost your mind and parenting a baby is going to be extremely stressful for you...and stressful for those around you.  Wait until your baby crawls and you see him licking the floor.  Your baby will survive that too.  [/quote]
