What precautions should I take with the diaper changing area?

Use the diapering area only for diapering. Never change diapers where you prepare or serve food.
Changing tables should be cleaned and disinfected after each use. A variety of commercial disinfecting solutions are available. Directions on product labels should be followed closely.
Always wash your hands and the child's hands - even if hands look clean.
If you are mixing your own disinfecting solution, the National Health and Safety Performance Standards for Child Care recommend 1/4 cup bleach in 1 gallon water. Mix fresh daily. And never mix bleach with anything other than water. A poisonous gas can result.
