    If you are an adult, obviously not. Antibacterial soap is not harmful to a child, but there are reasons not to use it routinely.

    Here is why:
    Our immune systems develop from interaction with bacteria. Think of the chicken pox. You would not be immune to it if you did not experience it as a child when your immune system was developing, hence it is good to expose a young child to chicken pox (the younger, the better). All bacteria works in the same way; your child will develope a stronger immune system if he or she is exposed to more bacteria.
