Why don't parents etc wear protective gloves while changing their babies' nappies? Why on earth do they do it with bare hands?!
PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
I suppose wearing gloves would make it more difficult to change a nappy, and some gloves have powders etc on them which may irritate babies delicate skin.
I always thought changing a nappy would bother me, but at the end of the day, it needs doing, and its not like adult poo because they don't eat all the rubbish that adults do!
I would hope that parents wash their hands afterwards though!
Perhaps it would be irritating to the baby's skin.
Personally my OCD prevents me even coming into any contact with a baby, even if the baby is clothed.

I suppose you'd be going through a lot of gloves which would lead to a lot of wastage, maybe they don't get a lot of poo on their hands anyway? Cause they are using wipes and such.

When youre changing a nappy, you mostly dont get any poo or anything on you because after a week or so youre a pro.
This.
Because you don't get it on you anyway, so washing your hands afterwards is sufficient.
It's when they pee/get morning glory whilst you're changing a nappy that you've got to worry.
If you do a poo you don't wear gloves to wipe your bum.
I was going to say this too. I suppose parents know that getting various bodily waste on them sort of comes with the job, so it's not a big deal, you can always wash hands/face/clothes etc.
Baby poo is pretty much digested breastmilk or formula. If, on occasion, you did get any on your hands you just wash it off, it's not going to kill you.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.
There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.
I don't wear protective gloves when i clean out my rats or pick up their poo, neither do i wear them when i have to do gross things like cleaning rat abscesses, i just make sure i wash my hands properly,
i think the thing is when its your own child or pet you do things you wouldn't dream of doing for other peoples!
