this may sound silly but... crawling on carpets?
Ruby is so very near crawling. She is 6 months old but so so close!
Anyway, she no longer stays in any one place. Since she has been able to sit unaided, I have put down a double duvet sized rug/playmat for her to move around but now she is off that in seconds.
She is trying to touch the DVD player/Sky and holding onto the legs of her jumparoo (when she's not in it).
Now I am paraniod that our carpet is harbouring some really nasty things as all and sundry wear their shoes in here (although I take mine off!). So, is it OK to just let her loose now as I am FOREVER putting her back on the rug.
She is always sucking her hands and fingers you see and I am just thinking that I would never eat anything that had dropped on the floor and therefore, is it OK for her to be doing that. Also, is it OK for her toys to be on the carpet?
We used to have cats but don't anymore...
I told you this was a silly silly thing but I am paraniod about the germs.
She has only just recovered from a sickness bug.....
What do your little ones do? Where do they play/sit/go?

Truth is, yes your carpet is full of germs. Sure. But you can't protect her forever. Gabe has never had a tummy bug...had a bit of diarrea over christmas but no sickness etc, and he was teething at the time

I don't even like trolleys myself (always carry handgel!) and short of milton wiping it, I had no choice!!
I am sounding very OCDish aren't I?!
i hover in a morning before i fetch cam down cos our big rug is very shaggy and could hide alsorts that he could choke on! but i bet it still harbours loads of germs and theres just nothing you can do about it.
bear in mind that if they dont come into contact with these germs they will build up no immunity to them. There is such a thing as being too clean

BTW - Ruby is a clever girl crawling so early. Kyra's 8 months and sits unaided and that's about it on the movement front! xox
we've got two cats (one long haired) so it wud take hoovering twice a day to stop the cat hair!! only time we really clean his hands is if there's obv dirt on em, he's eaten sumthin sticky (jam on toast) or if he's tried putting his finger up the cats bum!!!! didnt get it in the but touched!!! needless 2 say he got everything bar nleach put on his hands & a bath before bed!! lol
part from that it's a wipe down with baby wipes, mainly if he's having finger food & he's been crawling everywhere
