Proper Sanitation & Disposal of Diapers

Hi! This is Patti Billings. I am a certified pediatric nurse practitioner on behalf of expertvillage.com. This clip is going to talk about diapering and safe diapering for babies that are still in diapers. The first item would be that the area where diapers are changed should be clean. It should be a smooth surface something that is easily cleaned between each diapering. Once the child is diapered on a certain area, the area should be cleaned before another child is diapered in the same area. Caregivers should be washing their hands before and after diapering children. If you have disposable diapers they should be disposed off in a container that has a lid that is not easily removed by a child in some kind of a waste receptacle. The same goes with diapers that are not disposable. They should be in a container that is not accessible to children, and I know that many times with cloth diapers those are something that each individual child will come with, and so there may be a sack that has a tie on the top or something that is kept on a high area, where children cannot play in those thing and the caregiver should sanitize the area after each diaper change.
