Hey, I remember when I first got my son to take the binkie that I would constantly have a wipe to clean it off every time it fell- but do u really know how often that happens????
My gawd, I would go through a whole pack of wipes or use gallons and gallons of hot water (when it's available) if I were to clean it every time.
I generally take the risk of cleaning it with my mouth (not like that's any cleaner) or wipe it off on my clothes (same thing) after picking it up. But it's a normal thing for a mother after the 10th time of the binkie falling out, that you just don't care too much anymore. THey get a million bacteria in their mouths everyday anyway by touching with their hands then sticking them in their mouths. As a mother with the binkie experience, I found it merely impossible to stay up on cleaning a binkie every time it fell- and that happened a lot!
