Hand sanitizer safe to use around newborn?

Hi mummies, is it safe to use hand sanitizer around babies? I been using hand sanitizer before handling my baby but recently i read up that there might be a chance where newborn will accidentally consume some. Is it safe and the smell of the sanitizer is very strong. Do you think it will affect my newborn if he inhale it. Now i’m worried if i harm my own baby 😭

As long as you have completely rub your hands thoroughly such that no residue is left, it should be safe for newborn. Are you using baby safe sanitizer and not the commercial ones?
