Your toddler child is probably the dirtiest thing your have in your house! Think about it, they touch EVERYTHING -- from toilet seats to the food you put out for your pet (please tell me my toddler is not the only one!). Naturally, you want to keep your child clean, and you will be interested in what hygiene habits your toddler needs to learn, as suggested by Dr Prashant Gaekwad, paediatrician, Gaekwad's clinic.

How to sneeze is what many adults need to learn too. Instead of sneezing in your palms, as most people do, you should sneeze or cough in the crook of your elbow. It is clearly more hygienic. If you use a tissue, teach your child to throw the used tissue in the trash.

There's nothing wrong in picking your nose, we all do it! Instead of reprimanding your child for picking their nose, teach them to clean their hands afterwards.

Your toddler would want to do things by herself, including cleaning up after peeing and pooping. It is a good time to teach them how to clean themselves. You could hold the jetspray for them and teach them how to clean themselves. You, definitely, need to see to it that they clean themselves properly.

Moisten your finger with clean water, wrap the fabric around it, and gently clean your baby’s gums after every meal. This method is gentle and effective, helping to remove food particles and bacteria, and promoting oral hygiene from an early age.

Just for a day, observe how many things your toddler touches and how often she puts her hands in her mouth. Get a gentle handwash for your toddler and keep it accessible so that your toddler can use it.
