Just curious, any mummies here who didn't borrow books from libraries for their little ones due to fear of germs being passed around? Or what do you do before reading the library books to the LO? Not exactly a germaphobe, but with the onset of hfmd and the tendency of my baby to grab everything in sight and taste it, I am hesistant...

When my girls were under 1, I only gave them cloth books to read (or play with), which I bought mainly online, cos' of the tendency of them putting everything in their mouths. I washed these books regularly too. I still borrow library books to read to them & to show them the pics. When they were slightly older & could understand not to put books into their mouths, I started allowing them to read the library books on their own.
