Is lotion safe for a baby who sucks on their hands?

Many parents are understandably concerned about babies ingesting lotions or creams from their hands. Because babies frequently put their hands in their mouths, many choose to skip hand creams entirely or use food-grade, baby-safe oils instead. If you do use a cream, consider applying it only to areas they are less likely to reach, or stick to a simple oil massage that is safe for ingestion and won't leave a greasy residue.
