How To Wash Hands After Changing Diaper

• #i

I hesitated about presenting this topic-just what the heck! It really, really irritates me when I witness this. I am by no means a not bad freak, but, I am diligent about hand washing. Germs from not washing after a bathroom break or irresolute a diaper can make you very ill. The first time we took our DD to disney- she caught a nasty stomach virus. It was on the last day of the trip which I approximate is good-she threw up all over herself and myself right before boarding the aeroplane! I empathize that any number of things could have triggered the virus, existence that there is thousands of kids running effectually.
I just think that as parents, nosotros need to exist careful so we are non facilitating any of the germs running around! Please wash your hands-there's no excuse!

It depends where I am. If I am out, I usually utilise a baby wipe and purel ( I am allergic to some soaps) later I modify his diaper and he is back in the railroad vehicle or stroller. if we are abode, i wash my hands but after he is in the pack northward play. while to some people information technology doesnt look like I launder my hands, I usually wipe quickly with a wipe and and so use the purel when he is settled!

I e'er used diaper wipes out in public, but because it was faster and easier--specially since I take twins and another one 17 months younger.

Too--changing babies in public places has always grossed me out; and so we e'er inverse our kids's diapers on the floor of our minivan in the parking lot (not at Disney--we never did Disney when they were babies--merely at other places). Obviously no running water out there; so diaper wipes it was!

Also, if you are but carrying a baby at the shop (or at WDW), where is the infant supposed to become while you wash your easily I didn't always bring a stroller everywhere. That was e'er my trouble. I wasn't going to set DS on the counter while I done my hand. Baby wipes work in a compression.

I always employ a wipe as well. Ds is a bolter, if I put him down to launder my hands...he would exist in playing w/ one of the toilets or out the door!

Same here, information technology may seem similar I don't launder my hands, but it'due south not the case. Nosotros rarely change DD'south diaper/pull up when we're out (sometimes nosotros change her in the trunk of our SUV), if we accept long trips and end at the residual stops to alter her, DD and I both apply Purell later on. IMHO, I think it's safer to apply Purell later than her leaning towards the germ filled sink where some people just 'rinse' with water!

When DD was an baby we were in the city and there was no where to alter her only a very decorated McDonald's where the restroom was So gross (in that location was merely i restroom, it wasn't seperated for men and women...and when I went in, the terminal person didn't flush-can y'all imagine if they bothered to wash their hands?!) only she had a poopy diaper that needed to be changed immediately! And so I inverse her in her stroller and was skeeved the whole fourth dimension...there was no way I was going to put my easily on that very nasty, very public sink. Purell was my saving grace!

I know some use sanitizer but I think the ones who don't practice that or wash with soap for more than 3 seconds are disgusting. I see people all the time do this and it makes me sick. It's bad enough they don't care about themselves just I want to tell them thanks for getting the door all covered with your mess. Ill.

I normally utilize a diaper wipe to clean my hands after irresolute DS's diaper. Information technology is much quicker and that way he won't get abroad from me or effort to go into things around him that I'd rather him not touch.

What gets me are the people that don't use whatever sort of changing pad or paper towels or annihilation and don't wipe the changing surface before or after using it. Yuck!

LOL, I never pay whatever attention to other people's habits...Too decorated dealing with my life. Somehow I doubt the virus came from an idividual who didn't wash up afterwards a diaper change. Statistically speaking I don't think that is the most mutual way tummy bugs are spread...

Some people are just nasty! It's super gross.

Merely, these are the same people who don't wash (use wipes/purel/sanitizer/etc) their easily anywhere.

I take been in the bathroom with the Executive VP of the company I used to piece of work for and she DID NOT launder her easily. Nope! Came correct out of the stall, smiled and me and walked out. Imagine the not-political correctness when seeing her a few hours later in a meeting and being offered her hand to shake. GROSS!!

The fact is that humans are animals, and like animals, some are cleaner than others.

As to the OP that stated the child probably did not get the 'tum virus' from someone not washing their hands y'all're probably right. I've seen people cough into their hands and then wipe them all over the ropes/poles while standing on line. I've seen adults wipe a kids runny nose with their bare manus and wipe it on their pants and then proceed to get on a ride. I've seen kids put their mouth on the ropes/poles while continuing on line -- parent oblivious to what they are doing. NASTY!!

I just effort to remember that I am the 1 who needs to keep my easily abroad from my face up/oral cavity and encourage my child to practice the same. I always recall of the spider monkey showroom at my local zoo that is a total enclosure you can go in to and when you leave there is an attendant who will make y'all wash your hands with soap/water -- sanitizer volition not do for them -- b/c the monkeys 'mark' their territory. I think that many humans do also.

I don't get it either.

Just yesterday after I changed my youngest I asked a Mom to hold her while I went to wash my easily. (nosotros were at Girl Scouts) The Mom looked at me similar a had a 2nd caput. I guess she didn't expect me to go and launder my easily.

If I tin't wash b/c I'k solitary in the bathroom then I'll apply my hand sanitizer or a wipe.

If its just a pee diaper and I'm not close to a bathroom, I use purell or wipes. If he's poopy, I always find a bathroom to wash upwardly in .

• #eighteen

Another vote hither for sanitizer. Sometimes, especially at WDW, there is a line behind me, then I hurry upwards and exit the bathroom. But, I always have the sanitizer out when the little ane goes dorsum in the stroller outside the bath.

I wash my hands after going to the toilet but very rarely wipe down the irresolute tabular array when in a public restroom.

I retrieve the only reason I practice this is because it is a habit I got into whenever I'd change my ds'due south diaper at his daycare. Equally before long as you were washed you lot were supposed to spray the surface with the bleach-h2o stuff then wipe it downwards. Some of those teachers were the kind that yous didn't want to cross so it became a addiction with me when using a irresolute table other than ours at home. That and the fact that some really nasty intestinal bugs are spread through contact with waste. Our oldest got one that lasted for over two weeks and then I'm a little anal (no pun intended) about coming into contact with waste.
