Two different diaper-changing methods may be used to minimize the risk of transmitting infection from one child to another or to a provider. One method involves the use of gloves and the other does not. The method you select should be used consistently in your childcare setting. Whichever method you choose, you should never wash or rinse diapers or clothes soiled with fecal material in the childcare setting. Because of the risk of splashing, and gross contamination of hands, sinks, and bathroom surfaces, rinsing increases the risk that you, other providers, and the children would be exposed to germs that.
