What needs to be placed on the diaper pad for each diaper change?

Using a waterproof, disposable diaper pad for each diaper change is essential for maintaining hygiene and cleanliness. This type of pad provides a protective barrier that prevents moisture from seeping through to the surface underneath, which helps to reduce the risk of contamination and allows for easier cleanup after each change. The disposable nature of the pad also means that it can be easily disposed of after use, helping to maintain a sanitary environment for caregivers and infants alike.

This practice aligns with health and safety standards in child care settings, ensuring that each diaper change is conducted with minimal risk of cross-contamination and promoting good hygiene practices among caregivers.
