I just want to let you know that all opinions are my own and I may earn from qualifying purchases. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Enjoy and feel free to share with your friends!

The hygiene hypothesis is a medical theory that
posits that lack of exposure to dirt, germs, and other microorganisms makes you
more susceptible to allergies and other diseases[1]. Just as a vaccination makes you immune from
future diseases by introducing you to weakenedstrains of the disease, being
exposed to pathogens can also strengthen your immune system.
But for mothers, exposing their children to dirt
and grimegoes against their instinct of protecting young ones from harm. So how
clean is too clean even for kids?

Too much hand-washing. Everywhere we go we now
encounter dispensers of sanitizers, reminders for us to wash our hands, and mini
alcohol gel bottles hanging from everyone’s bags. While the risk of infection
diseases is high, studies have shown that the cleanest kids have the highest
risk of eczema and asthma[2].
Exclusively indoor culture. The internet, gadgets,
and hovering parents mean that fewer kids play outside than they did 10 years
ago. Outdoor kids aged three and below consume an average of 500 mg of soil a
day[3], and despite its myriad bacteria, regular dirt is
harmless and can even benefit kids’ immune systems.
Hypersterile environments. Aside from obsessively
washing hands and staying indoors most of the time, children may not be as
exposed to allergens when their environment is hospital-like and sprayed with
antiseptic every hour. Skin and food allergies have risen steadily in the last
14 years in developed countries, wherekids’ environments are generally cleaner[4].
However, there is one aspect in which mothers can
never be too safe or too clean, and that is with their children’s drinking
water. Absolute Distilled Drinking Water is the only brand in the country certified
by the National Sanitation Foundation, meeting standards of safety and
cleanliness that every mother would approve of.
So when in doubt, trust only the brand that
ensures that nothing is too safe and clean for you child.

    We're using Wilkins Distilled Water for our newborn. Maybe by next month we'll be shifting to Absolute Distilled Water.
