Then you wiped the table down, changed the diaper, washed the child's hands (yes, even babies and it was awful!) And then sanitize the table again. Then once you had finished sanitizing the table you had to wash your hands, and start the process all over again. I usually did all the diapering while another teacher did other routine care tasks, and when we had 11 kids in our room it would take upwards of an hour to finish all diapers.
Wow! Those are some super seriously detailed steps for a diaper change! I am all for cleanliness and taking necessary precautions but good grief! I would've lost my mind.
